Abstract
The prognostic significance of the histologic and clinical features of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and their impact on therapy and outcome have been evaluated infrequently in the same series. Fifty-tree patients with MTC (32 females, 21 males; 44 sporadic, 9 familial MTC [4 families]; mean age: 46.11 +/- 14.04 years) who were operated on consecutively between 1970 and 1992 were studied. All pathology slides were reviewed. Patients were followed with clinical examination, serum calcitonin (CT), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) assay, and imaging procedures (median follow-up: 4 years; mean: 5.66 +/- 4.85 years; range: 0-19 years). Impact on survival was evaluated with Kaplan-Meier survival curves compared with the log rank test for these variables: familiarity, sex, age, pT, N, M, stage, histotype, necrosis, calcitonin, gene-related peptide (CGRP), CT, CEA, thyroglobulin, chromogranin A, chromogranin A PHE5, neuron-specific enolase, amyloid, argyrophilia, synaptophysin Y38, external radiotherapy, chemotherapy, 131I therapy, postsurgical serum CT, and postsurgical serum CEA, Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox's proportional hazards model for statistically significant factors (P < 0.05). Ten- and 15-year cause-speci...Continue Reading
