Clinical performance of calcitonin and procalcitonin Elecsys® immunoassays in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma

Summary: The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of calcitonin (CT) and procalcitonin (PCT) in distinguishing between active and inactive medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and between MTC and non-MTC thyroid diseases. PCT was found to be a highly sensitive and specific alternative marker for MTC, particularly useful in patients with positive CT results. Having both markers available on the same automated platform facilitates reflex strategies to refine laboratory diagnosis.
