Medullary Thyroid Cancer: A Review
Thyroid cancer is a malignancy of the thyroid parenchymal cells. There are four main types of thyroid cancer: papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), and Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the thyroid gland derived from parafollicular C-cells that produce calcitonin (CT...
متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...

Dispersed neuroendocrine system (D.N.S) consists of a wide variety of cells that are present in the central and peripheral nervous system and in many classic endocrine organs and different tissues such as respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, skin, prostate, breast and also their neoplasm show neuroendocrine differentiation by electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry or biochemical techniqu...
متن کاملSignaling pathways as specific pharmacologic targets for neuroendocrine tumor therapy: RET, PI3K, MEK, growth factors, and Notch.
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare tumors with a common progenitor - the neural crest cell. Included in this category are pulmonary and gastrointestinal tract carcinoid tumors and medullary thyroid cancer. The majority of these tumors are sporadic in nature, however they can be hereditary. Medullary thyroid cancers can present sporadically, with other endocrine tumors, as in the complex of multiple...
متن کاملTumor-suppressor role of Notch3 in medullary thyroid carcinoma revealed by genetic and pharmacological induction.
Notch1-3 are transmembrane receptors that appear to be absent in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Previous research has shown that induction of Notch1 has a tumor-suppressor effect in MTC cell lines, but little is known about the biologic consequences of Notch3 activation for the progression of the disease. We elucidate the role of Notch3 in MTC by genetic (doxycycline-inducible Notch3 intracell...
