Abstract
Stimulation tests with pentagastrine and alcohol on secretion of calcitonine were compared in 10 healthy individuals and 5 diseased people with a modular carcinoma of the thyroid gland. In healthy people the tests showed no results while in the patients with the modular carcinoma of the thyroid gland the stimulation with pentagastrine provoked remarkably more calcitonine than the stimulation with alcohol. The immunoreactive calcitonine in serum is defined by commercial set. These experiments advocate the application of the stimulation test with alcohol as a screening test in diagnosing the modular carcinoma of the thyroid gland and the stimulation test with pentagastrine in suspect cases.
