Ca19.9 Positivity Indicative of Mortality from Medullary Thyroid Cancer
March 15th 2021In advanced medullary thyroid cancer, mortality may be predicted by serum carbohydrate antigen 19.9 (Ca19.9) positivity in patients as well as by doubling times less than 6 months and less than 1 year. Results of a retrospective study suggest that these 2 new prognostic factors should be considered when initiating treatment for patients with MTC.
