Abstract:
A total of 1 870 patients who had undergone thyroidectomy were investigated.The mean TSH level in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) was significantly higher than that in patients with benign thyroid nodules[(1.95±1.69 vs 1.40±1.98)mIU/L,P＜0.01].DTC patients who had lymphatic metastasis or the diameter of tumor more than 10 mm had higher serum TSH level.Serum thyrotropin is an independent risk predictor for DTC.
