In conclusion, our results confirm the crucial role played by the ret proto-oncogene activating rearrangements in the development of radiation-associated thyroid tumors appearing after therapeutic or accidental ionizing irradiation, and show, for the first time, the presence of RET/PTC genes in follicular adenomas appeared after external irradiation.

Present data suggest that: (1) the incidence of FAP-associated thyroid cancer probably has been underestimated in the past; (2) intensive screening could detect a larger than expected number of thyroid carcinomas; (3) systematic screening is recommended in patients with ocular patches and genetic mutation in exon 15; (4) Hashimoto-like findings do not exclude carcinoma but are a frequent accompanying finding; (5) despite frequent multicentricity and early lymph node involvement, FAP-associated thyroid tumors seem to have an excellent prognosis, in particular those showing ret-PTC activation.

Medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC) derive from C cells in the thyroid and express some specific messenger RNAs (mRNA), such as those transcribed from the RET proto-oncogene, the calcitonin gene, and the gene for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), which usually do not exist in normal thyroid follicular cells or thyroid tumors of follicular epithelial descent.
