i know there is an increase in calcitonin, but i'm not sure about other hormones. If it's associated with other MEN tumors then I guess it would have rise in other hormones like T3/T4, or catacholamines, but I'm not sure

yes if its just medually carcinoma then its just calcitonin and if its MEN II/III b then all other hormones come into picture.
