Abstract
Serum thyroglobulin determination plays a central role, in combination with neck ultrasonography, in the follow-up of thyroid cancer patients. Its specificity is improved by thyroid remnant ablation, and its sensitivity is optimal following prolonged withdrawal or stimulation with recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Modern methods with an improved functional sensitivity may facilitate its use during follow-up.Entities:
