- Abstract
About 5% of nonmedullary thyroid cancers (NMTCs) are familial. Most patients with a family history of thyroid cancer do not meet the definition of familial NMTC (FNMTC; two or more affected family members). The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with a family history of NMTC, but who do not meet the definition of FNMTC, have more aggressive disease.
