Abstract:
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is commonly used to monitor tumor survival, recurrence and metastasis in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Tg can be classified into suppressive Tg and stimulated Tg, the latter include after operation or before the first 131I treatment called postablative stimulated Tg (ps-Tg), and Tg after thyroid remnant ablation. The research progresses of ps-Tg in prediction of metastasis of DTC and the impact factors were reviewed in this article.
