Medullary thyroid cancer in MEN2 pediatric/adolescent carriers of RET mutation: genotype/phenotype correlation and outcome in a retrospective series of 23 patients by Guenda Di Benedetto, Ignazio Barca, Laura De Gregorio, Claudia Scollo, Fiorenza Gianì, Federica Martorana, Marco Russo, Francesco Frasca, Gabriella Pellegriti, Gabriella Pellegriti, Giulia Sapuppo

“…One patient died after 9 years of follow-up at 21 years old (M918T RET+).ConclusionsFrom these data, it is clear to see the importance of genetic counseling and RET screening in all first-degree relatives of patients with proven MEN2. The goal should be to subject patients to surgery for prophylactic and not curative purposes, i.e., before the onset of MTC, given the high risk of persistent or recurrent disease also in pediatric/adolescent patients.…”
