Abstract in English:

Calcitonin (CT) is an important tumor marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Recent CT assays chiefly recognize the monomeric form of CT (mCT). It was the objective of this study to examine the consequences of the higher specificity of the assay for interpretation of the postoperative CT values in MTC patients.
