This case of MEN2B medullary thyroid cancer with long-term survival presents how the effectiveness of different treatment modalities can be estimated using log-transformed calcitonin levels. Furthermore, our experience supports the view that serial calcitonin measurements may be more sensitive than radiological follow-up in advanced MTC. Our patient also represents a new case of rarely reported calcitonin-producing pheochromocytomas.
