#1545 In Vivo Expression of Survivin and XIAP in Medullary Thyroid Carcimoma

Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for approximately 5 % of all thyroid malignancies. Although surgery remains the first line therapy with curative intention, for advanced MTC current chemotherapeutic regimes do not provide promising results. Consequently, the identification of biologically relevant biomarkers that are associated with MTC progression may provide novel therapeutic targets.
