Aim: Stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg), measured at radioiodine remnant-ablation (RRA) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC), is an important predictive factor of persistent disease. However, Tg produced by normal thyroid cells may also contribute to the sTg value.We aimed to study the relationship between sTg-level in RRA and the thyroid remnant size (TRs), using post-therapy whole-body scan (131I-ptWBS), at different TSH stimulation method.<...
