Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare thyroid malignancy accounting for 3-5% of all thyroid malignancies ( In the normal thyroid C cells, the ret proto-oncogene ( RET ), renin-angiotensin system (RAS), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (PI3K/AKT/mTOR ), vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and programmed death ligand-1 ( PD-L1 ) are responsible for regulating the biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, migration and immunity ( RET mutation is frequently found in medullary carcinoma ( GDNF ) binds the GFR receptor and the GDNF-GFR complex binds to RET receptor resulting in the activation of tyrosine kinase domain through homo-dimerization ( PI3K/AKT/mTOR , RAS/MAPK , VEGF , etc
Therefore, findings often seem confusing and contradicting because a certain treatment might change the biological status of one cell while no response occurs in another
