Medullаry thyrоid cаncer аccоunts fоr around 1–2% of all thyroid cancers, and risk factors include prior head and neck radiation, family history, or (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2) MEN2. It arises from the thyroid parafollicular cells, which produce hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), calcitonin, and serotonin. Most patients with thyroid cancer are asymptomatic. Less common symptoms include dysphagia or hoarseness from upper digestive tract compression and systemic symptoms secondary to hormone secretion from the tumor, such as facial flushing and diarrhea. On physical exam, the most common finding is a painless thyroid nodule, with or without lymphadenopathy. Calcitonin levels are almost always elevated in these patients, while thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels tend to be within the normal range. A cold nodule on radioactive iodine uptake scan, indicating no uptake and a nonfunctioning nodule, is suspicious for thyroid cancer and must be investigated further. The diagnosis of thyroid cancer is usually made after fine-needle aspiration in a patient presenting with a painless nodule. Treatment options include surgical removal of the thyroid. Follow-up after thyroidectomy for medullary thyroid cancer usually involves yearly ultrasounds and serum calcitonin levels, as calcitonin is an important tumor marker in this disease. TSH levels tend to be normal in patients with medullary cancer and thus are not helpful to assess for disease recurrence but can be used to monitor post-treatment thyroid levels. Post surgery, levothyroxine should be started and thyroid levels closely monitored to maintain euthyroid status. Similarly, adjuvant therapy with radioiodine is not indicated because the tumor cells do not concentrate iodine.
