Abstract:
Using the radioimmuno assay to quantify the serum concentrations thyroglobulin and calcitonin in the normal people and patients with the thyroid cancer to evaluate the relation between them and apply this technique for diagnosing the cancer. The comparison found that the serum calcitonin in the patients with the thyroid cancer was lower than this in normal people during the severe or treated phase of the disease. The serum calcitonin concentration was only applied in the phase that the thyroid cells has not been destroyed, phase of relapse or remote metastasis.
