Abstract
Among thyroid carcinomas, thyroglobulin is a good tumor marker for differentiated carcinoma (papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma). In particular, it is widely used for monitoring of patients with total or near-total thyroidectomy. On the other hand, medullary thyroid caricima has a very sensitive and specific tumor marker, calcitonin. In inherited medullary carcinoma (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2), RET protooncogene analysis is the best for detecting early medullary thyroid carcinoma.
