Background: The routine measurement of serum calcitonin (CT) has been proposed for patients with nodular thyroid disease (NTD), to detect unsuspected medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) before surgery. Objective: To assess the prevalence of hyper-calcitoninemia and MTC in NTD patients; to compare the ability of CT measurement and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to predict MTC; to identify age groups of NTD patients who should be better candidates than others to undergo routine measurement of CT. Patients and methods: 1425 consecutive patients, referred from April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004, to four Italian endocrine centers due to NTD, were grouped depending on age, and underwent basal and, in some cases, pentagastrin (Pg)-stimula...
