2026 ETA Consensus Statement on the Interpretation and Management of Calcitonin Levels in Patients with Thyroid Nodules

Eur Thyroid JPublished Consensus statement

Scope

As issued by the authors

This consensus aims to support clinicians who perform calcitonin (Ctn) in the work up of thyroid nodules, either routinely or in accordance to the ETA guidelines, in decision-making when Ctn concentrations are above the upper reference limit, but not yet approaching or reaching the diagnostic levels, by identifying those who require surgery, those suitable for follow-up, and those who do not require further investigation.
