Traetment of Medullary Carcinoma thyroid: (A) Surgery and Radioiodine, (B) Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, (C) Surgery only, (D) Radioiodine ablation
Answer is C. In medullary carcinoma thyroid , total thyroidectomy is treatment of choice. Radiotherapy can be considered in unresectable cases or after complete surgical resection in few cases. Note : Since medullary thyroid cancer doesnot arise from follicular cells, TSH suppression and RAI (radio active iodine) therapy have no role. Source : Sabiston 20th edition pg 910
