Abstract
Calcitonin mRNA was detected in human medullary carcinoma using an in situ hybridization technique. This specific and reproducible method could lead to a better functional characterization of medullary carcinoma and should allow the definition of new prognosis factors in medullary thyroid cancer.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
