In 24 patients with a medullary thyroid cancer a histopathological reexamination was performed. In 16 patients the DNA content was measured. Patients with a diploid or hypotriploid tumor had a 5-year survival rate of 100% in contrast to 48% of patients with a triploid or hypertriploid aneuploid tumor. Aneuploid tumors were more often found in patients with a high pre- or postoperative calcitonin level and lymph node metastasis. No correlation was found between the DNA content and the patients age, sex, preoperative CEA value, tumor size, pT4 stage, invasion of vessels calcitonin immunoreactivity, silver or amyloid staining, and distant metastasis.

D009377 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia A group of autosomal dominant diseases characterized by the combined occurrence of tumors involving two or more ENDOCRINE GLANDS that secrete PEPTIDE HORMONES or AMINES. These neoplasias are often benign but can be malignant. They are classified by the endocrine glands involved and the degree of aggressiveness. The two major forms are MEN1 and MEN2 with gene mutations on CHROMOSOME 11 and CHROMOSOME 10, respectively.
