Abstract

Thyroid cancer is common and has a steadily rising incidence [1]. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common histologic subtype, accounting for more than 90% of all thyroid cancers. Over 90% of thyroid cancers are sporadic, with less than 10% being familial [2]. Familial thyroid cancers can be divided into familial non-medullary thyroid cancers (FNMTC), or familial medullary thyroid cancers (FMTC) according to their cell of origin. Among FNMTC, about 5% are associated with defined syndromes and occur with a preponderance of non-thyroidal tumours [3] (see Diagram 14.1). The majority however are non-syndromic FNMTC. FMTC, on the other hand, is most commonly associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). The presence of certain histological subtypes should also prompt consideration of familial thyroid cancer.
