Medullary carcinoma and thyrocalcitonin.

Seven patients with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid were investigated, and the thyrocalcitonin activity of the primary tumours, metastatic deposits, and the serum was estimated.Medullary carcinomas of the thyroid with amyloid stroma contain 100 to 600 times more thyrocalcitonin than normal thyroid tissue, and lymph nodes with metastatic deposits are equally rich in the hormone. High values of thyrocalcitonin are also found in the blood of these patients. Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid with amyloid stroma is the first disease to be recognized in which there is hypersecretion of thyrocalcitonin.

Thyrocalcitonin: effect on idiopathic hypercalcemia.

Identical twins having idiopathic hypercalcemia were treated with repeated doses of thyrocalcitonin extracted from porcine thyroid glands. The treatment produced a marked change in the amount of calcitum and phosphate in the plasma and in the excretion of urinary calcium.
