Abstract
In 4 patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma serum calcitonin was measured before and after surgical treatment. In 3 cases serum CT was normalized after operation, whereas one case showed persisting hypercalcitonism as a hint for metastasation. Selective venous catheterization with CT-determination was useful for lacalizing metastases.
