Overview
Medullary thyroid cancer may be classified according to the mode of occurrence into 2 groups: sporadic medullary thyroid cancer and inherited medullary thyroid cancer.
Classification
- Medullary thyroid cancer may be classified according to the mode of occurrence into 2 groups: sporadic medullary thyroid cancer and inherited medullary thyroid cancer.
- Sporadic medullary thyroid cancer[1]
