MTC Mice & Touchpads Driver
Welcome
We're so glad you're here! This site is to help anyone diagnosed with Medullary Thyroid Cancer and their caregivers find valuable information and support. If you'd like to connect with others with MTC, please consider joining our very active Facebook Group. You don't have to go through this alone!
If you don't yet have a copy, please download the American Thyroid Association Guidelines for the Management of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma, aka 'The Guidelines.' This is the MTC Bible. Read it and know it and it will help you and your doctor ensure you get the proper treatment.
Lastly, please consider looking into being seen by an MTC expert. We do our best to keep a running list of what we call 'Centers of Excellence.' These are doctors and facilities that are properly trained and experienced enough to treat MTC patients. It's one of the most important decisions you can make on your journey.
We expect every member of MTC to have a will to win, a dedication to duty, a great sense of honour and compassion, a belief in honesty and the benefits of mateship and teamwork, and a wealth of physical and moral courage. You are accountable for your actions and decisions and are asked to bring honour to MTC CONCEPTS, your mates and yourself. Tischler AS, et al.

Request for help with MTC research from Tim Erickson, PhD
I recently presented data for a new type of MTC Cell Therapy at ThyCa, and the next logical step is to run a mouse model to see if these specialized immune cells can cure tumors in mice. A short video of the T cells killing green-labeled tumor cells can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA8NQ4MZXA4
Many of you have expressed an interest in supporting this pioneering research, and I have some excellent news to share. ThyCa is now accepting donations to support the In Vivo MTC Cell Therapy Study, whereby the therapy will be tested in mice with implanted MTC tumors. Fully tax-deductible donations can be made on ThyCa's website. In order to make sure that 100% of your donation goes to the MTC Cell Therapy fund, please indicate so by doing the following:
- Under the tab My Contribution is For please select: Medullary Thyroid Cancer Research
- Under the Occasion heading select: My donation is for a special occasion.
- Then under the Describe your Occasion box enter: MTC Cell Therapy
Alternatively, donations can be made by good old fashioned check via this instruction form. Just indicate MTC Cell Therapy on the memo line.

As ThyCa is a 501c3, proceeds are 100% tax-deductible and 100% of funds will go toward running a 'mouse clinical trial' to formally test this therapy in vivo. I will share the data in real-time via Facebook as it comes in.
As the MTC-killing 'T cells robots' worked beautifully in a petri dish directly lysing MTC tumor cells, my hope is that they will fully eradicate tumors in mice, and that this study will provide proof-of-concept data to move toward a clinical trial. This is the final leg of the research journey that I have been on since my Stage IVa diagnosis in 2014, and I would profoundly appreciate your support toward developing this novel and potentially curative therapy for MTC.
Sincerely,
Tim Erickson, Meddie PhD

COURAGE
Taking action despite your fears
Courage is having the moral and physical strength to do what is right, even in the face of adversity. It is stepping up when things get hard. It is speaking up when you see things that are wrong. Courage is enforcing our standards and discipline. It is not giving in to peer pressure.
COMMITMENT
Giving your best commitment is doing your best
It is looking for ways to always achieve your task, and persevering even when the going gets tough. Commitment is accepting and living our values and standards. It is serving New Zealand.
COMRADESHIP
Respecting and looking out for each other
Comradeship is respecting the differences of the people around you and treating others as you’d like to be treated. It is working together as a team, being inclusive, and recognising we are stronger together. Comradeship is never an excuse for covering up other people’s wrong doing.
INTEGRITY
Doing the right thing – always!
Integrity is conducting yourself honestly, ethically, and to the highest professional standards - even when no one is watching. It is doing the things that you say you are going to do. Integrity is accepting responsibility for your decisions and actions.
We're a modern, agile, highly adaptive and multi-skilled force who are regarded as some of the best in the sectors that we represent.
