Early hereditary medullary carcinoma could receive prophylactic thyroidectomy based on RET gene test results. Advanced progressive medullary thyroid carcinoma could be treated with palliative surgery,molecular targeted drugs and chemotherapy.@*Conclusions@#The prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma is poor and lymph node metastasis is easy to occur early.
