What is Medullary Thyroid Cancer and How is it Diagnosed and Treated?

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a type of thyroid cancer that develops in the thyroid gland's C cells. The thyroid gland is located in the neck and produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. C cells, also known as parafollicular cells, produce a hormone called calcitonin, which regulates calcium levels in the body.
