甲状腺髓样癌(MCT),是一种起源于甲状腺滤泡旁细胞(Parafollicular)并分泌多肽激素——降钙素的肿瘤。MCT占所有甲状腺恶性肿瘤的5～10%,常为家族性并好发于青年患者。本文研究目的,是在应用放射性核素作骨和肝检查探测MCT患者术后转移灶的发生频率。方法:作者对34例已经外科证实为MCT的病人,作随访肝-脾和骨显象研究。年龄范围为7～66岁(平均35.1岁)男性18例,女性16例。
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MCT) is a tumor that originates in parafollicular cells (Parafollicular) and secretes the polypeptide hormone calcitonin. MCT accounts for 5 to 10% of all thyroid malignancies, often familial and occurs in young patients. The purpose of this study is to detect the frequency of metastases after MCT in patients with bone and liver examination using radionuclide. METHODS: The authors performed follow-up liver-spleen and bone imaging studies in 34 patients who had been surgically confirmed as MCT. There were 18 males and 16 females aged 7 to 66 years (average 35.1 years).
