Thyroglobulin and differentiated thyroid cancer
-
Abstract
Thyroglobulin(Tg) measurements play an important role in the management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC).Tg is a highly specific and sensitive tumor marker for detection of recurrence and metastasis of DTC.Tg assays and radioiodine scans are complementary.Immunohistochemical detection of Tg,Tg mRNA and thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb) also play important roles in the management of DTC.
