Stage-IV differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients may present elevated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels associated with positive [(131)I] whole-body-scan (WBS). Nevertheless some patients in whom WBS does not reveal new sites of disease show increased Tg levels. This finding prompts thorough restaging in order to exclude the presence of...

Recombinant human TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels (rhTSH-Tg) are sufficient for early follow-up of low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients after thyroidectomy and radioiodine (131I) remnant ablation (RAI). Serum Tg levels at the time of remnant ablation (ablation-Tg) is thought to be related with rhTSH-Tg and may be...
