ABSTRACT
Familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) may be considered as a separate clinical entity with variable aggressive biologic behaviors on the basis of previously published studies. Therefore, a family history of NMTC should be carefully considered as a possible prognostic factor when endocrine surgeons set a plan regarding the extent of surgery, radioactive iodine treatment, and follow-up strategy for FNMTC patients.
