Calcitonin testing for detection of medullary thyroid cancer in people with thyroid nodules.
Verbeek HH, de Groot JWB, Sluiter WJ, Muller Kobold AC, van den Heuvel ER, Plukker JT, Links TP. Verbeek HH, et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2020 Mar 16;3(3):CD010159. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD010159.pub2. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2020. PMID: 32176812 Free PMC article.
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are very common in general medical practice, but rarely turn out to be a medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Calcitonin is a sensitive tumour marker for the detection of MTC (basal calcitonin). Sometimes a stimulation test is used to impro …

Efficacy of calcitonin for treating acute pain associated with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: an updated systematic review.
Boucher E, Rosgen B, Lang E. Boucher E, et al. CJEM. 2020 May;22(3):359-367. doi: 10.1017/cem.2019.490. CJEM. 2020. PMID: 32188529
The analgesic efficacy of salmon calcitonin at 4 weeks was unclear due to substantial heterogeneity. There was low certainty evidence that calcitonin did not increase the overall risk of adverse events, including nausea and vomiting (risk ratio, 2.10; 95% CI, 0.87-5 …
