Introduction: Thyroglobulin plays a vital role in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) after thyroidectomy combined with radioiodine (RAI) ablation. As to preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg), though several studies have manifested its potential in identifying distant metastatic DTC (DM-DTC), it remains unclear whether a single ps-Tg is sufficient for predicting DM-DTC. This retrospective study was aimed to evaluate the utility of seria...
