Objective: Detecting recurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer is performed by serial measurements of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels, however, in the presence of anti-Tg antibodies, this measurement is unreliable. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-enclosed structures, with a prominent role in cell-to-cell communication. All cell types release EVs and they can be isolated from various biofluids, while their cargo reflects the content of the cell of origin. Prev...
