Overview

Key Findings in genetic testing in Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Nuclear imaging

  • radioactive iodine: lesions do not concentrate radioactive iodine since the tumour does not arise from thyroid follicular cells

FDG-PET: avid uptake Tl-201: It has been shown to concentrate Thallium-201 5 I-123 MIBG: 30% of MTCs show uptake if the thyroid is blocked with Lugol solution prior to the scan
