Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Medullary Thyroid Cancer treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Medullary Thyroid Cancer Overview

Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) originates from the parafollicular cells, also known as C cells, of the thyroid gland, which produces calcitonin. This tumor is derived from neural crest cells and is characterized by elevated calcitonin levels. About 75-80% of medullary thyroid cancers are sporadic, while the remaining cases are familial and occur in multiple endocrine neoplasias (MEN) 2A, MEN 2B, and familial medullary thyroid cancer (FMTC). The development of MTC can be attributed to RET mutations in the neural crest tissue of the thyroid gland. Germline mutations are associated with MEN2 and FMTC medullary thyroid cancers, while 40-50% of sporadic medullary thyroid cancers have acquired RET mutations. Medullary thyroid cancer associated with multiple MEN syndromes is often multicentric and bilateral, whereas sporadic medullary thyroid cancer is usually unilateral. These tumors typically involve the upper portions of both lobes of the thyroid gland since C cells are predominantly located in the upper poles of the gland. Paraneoplastic syndromes, such as Cushing syndrome and carcinoid syndrome, can also occur in MTC, producing hormones such as corticotropin, serotonin, prostaglandins, and melanin. The five-year survival rate for stages 1 to 3 of medullary thyroid cancer is 93%, whereas, for stage 4, it is only 28%. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for medullary thyroid carcinoma, as this cancer does not respond to conventional chemotherapy or radioactive iodine (RAI).

• Thyroid cancer represents 2.3% of new malignancies occurring annually in the United States, with an annual incidence of approximately 14.6 per 100,000. Of those thyroid cancer diagnoses, 2% to 3% are medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), translating into 1080-1620 new diagnoses annually.
