Comparing the Diagnostic Efficacy of Different Calcitonin Stimulation Tests for Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Calcium Gluconate vs. Calcium Chloride

<b>Background:</b> Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare malignancy derived from parafollicular C-cells, with calcitonin (Ct) as its key biomarker. While basal Ct (bCt) levels above 100 pg/mL strongly suggest MTC, intermediate elevations (10–100 pg/mL) may reflect C-cell hyperplasi...
