Most recently, thyroid cancer patients have been able to benefit from genetic testing for thyroid cancer. As ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc. writes, "Genetic testing of the RET proto-oncogene should be performed in all patients with MTC (medullary thyroid cancer) to determine whether there are genetic changes that predict the development of MTC.
