Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to identify factors affecting disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), as previous research in this area has been limited.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 257 patients, finding that 51% had persistent/recurrent disease while 49% had no evidence of disease at follow-up, with various factors like age, metastasis, and initial response influencing DFS outcomes.
- - The key finding was that the lack of an excellent response after initial treatment is the strongest predictor of worse DFS, highlighting the need for diligent follow-up even in patients who initially respond well.
