Detailed explanation-1: -The medulla contains special cells called parafollicular C cells that produce and release hormones. MTC happens when the C cells become cancerous and grow out of control. MTC may also be called medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metastasis from medullary thyroid carcinoma occurs via lymphatic and blood channels, spreading to cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes and secondarily to the lung, liver, and bones [9].
Detailed explanation-3: -Medullary thyroid cancer usually presents as a lump or nodule on your thyroid gland. You may notice it or your healthcare provider may discover it during a routine neck examination. Sometimes, the nodule is discovered incidentally (accidentally) by imaging tests you get for other medical reasons.
