Association of vitamin D levels and receptor gene polymorphisms with medullary thyroid cancer

Association of vitamin D levels and receptor gene polymorphisms with medullary thyroid cancer

Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Accounting for approximately 1-2% of all cancers. Thyroid cancers have been divided into four main types: papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic. The active form of vitamin D (1,25-(OH) 2-vitamin D3) by binding to its receptor, using genomic and nongenomic mechanisms inhibits the proliferative effect of TSH on thyroid cells. Therefore, vitamin D may have a role in regulating of thyroid gland cell proliferation. Many studies...
