The thyroglobulin ELISA (10–13) is about 20-fold more sensitive than conventional
thyroglobulin assays and can measure serum thyroglobulin reliably and simply in the follow …

TO THE EDITOR: In a recent paper (1), Ma et al. considered explanations for the occasional
discordant findings between serum thyroglobulin and 131I whole-body scanning. They listed …

Patients with previously treated thyroid carcinoma require lifelong monitoring for recurrent
disease. Two diagnostic tests that play a central role in follow-up of these patients …

Thyroglobulin, the major protein product of thyroid follicular cells, is not produced by other
cells in the body. Two principal immunoassay formats exist to measure thyroglobulin and are …

RESULTS Figure 1shows the levels of Tg, T4, T3, and TSH. T4 values were in the
hypothyroid range in 65 patients (96%), of which 65% showed no T4 by the assay used. The …

The serum thyroglobulin (Tg) response to elevated TSH is one of the most sensitive indexes
of residual thyroid carcinoma. We have explored the possibility that this test alone would be …

Detection of residual and recurrent thyroid carcinoma requires long-term monitoring of
patients with serum thyroglobulin measurement and radioiodine scanning during temporary …

Clinical recurrences of differentiated thyroid carcinoma occur in 20% of patients after thyroid
surgery. We performed a retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients undergoing routine …

Effective long-term management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DCT) requires
persistence and attention to detail. After radioiodine ablation of the postsurgical thyroid …
