Abstract |
Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) was measured by
radioimmunoassay in 81 patients with thyroid tumor who
were treated in the department of Internal medicine of
National Medical Center from January, 1981 to June,
1982. The results were as follows: 1) The mean serum
thyroglobulin level in thyroid tumor was significantly
higher than normal subjects (p〈0.001). 2) The mean
serum thyroglobulin level in benign tumor was lower
than malignant tumor (p〈0.05). 3) The thyroid
carcinoma with metastasis had significant high level of
serum thyroglobulin than without metastasis (p〈0.001).
4) The mean postoperative serum thyroglobulin level was
significantly lower than preoperative level (p〈0.001).
Data from our study show that serum thyroglobulin
determination is useful for assessing the presence of
malignant thyroid tumor, metastasis and the extent of
residual or recurrent thyroid cancer after surgery. |
