Use

The Calcitonin (Thyrocalcitonin) (Serial Monitor) test is used for the long-term monitoring of calcitonin levels in patients. Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, and its levels are used to monitor and manage medullary thyroid carcinoma and other conditions that may affect calcitonin secretion. Serial monitoring can assist in the early detection of changes in calcitonin concentration, which may indicate recurrence or progression of disease.
