doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000019652. 3) Thyroglobulin: Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by thyroid cells (both papillary thyroid cancer and normal cells). HTG2 : Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a thyroid-specific glycoprotein (approximately 660 KDa) that serves as the source for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) production within the lumen of thyroid follicles. Thyroglobulin levels above 2.8 after rhTSH preparation and above 28 ng/mL after THW were predictive of persistent or residual cancer. Although the majority of patients will experience a rapid fall in thyroglobulin within the first 6 months after surgery and radioactive iodine, in some instances, the Tg level will continue to fall and become very low or undetecable afer 12-18 months Even without additional therapy, serum thyroglobulin levels often decline for years after total thyroidectomy and RAI remnant ablation … Successful ablation was determined by the second time stimulated Tg levels (≤1 ng/ml) and negative radioiodine uptake at thyroid bed after 6.1 ± 1.1 months of RAI therapy. After removal of the thyroid gland, thyroglobulin can be used as a "cancer marker." Serum Tg levels were measured just before RAI administration (D0Tg) and 7 days after RAI therapy (D7Tg). Epub 2014 Nov 18. Study protocol. Follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. For T4 and T3 release, Tg is reabsorbed into thyrocytes and proteolytically degraded, liberating T4 and T3 for secretion. An 85-yr-old widower presented with 6 yr of hoarseness, 1 yr of hypothyroidism, and recent dysphagia to solid foods.

Yoo SW, Chowdhury MSA, Jeon S, Kang SR, Cho SG, Kim J, Lee C, Ryu YJ, Song HC, Bom HS, Min JJ, Kwon SY. Serum Tg levels at the time of remnant ablation (ablation-Tg) is thought to be related with rhTSH-Tg and may be predictive of recurrent disease. Finally, we investigated which clinicopathologic parameters were associated with therapeutic response. Semin Nucl Med. Methods: A total of 152 patients with thyroid cancer (mean age = 44.9 ± 13.7 year) undergoing RAI therapy after total thyroidectomy were included. In multivariate analysis, only ratioTg significantly predicted an acceptable response (odds ratio 1.104; 95% confidence interval 1.005-1.213; P = 0.040).

Serum thyroglobulin (Tg)…, Study protocol. — Thyroid cancer patients who have received radioactive iodine ablation after thyroidectomy and who later have a negative whole body scan for thyroid cancer probably do not need to receive radioactive iodine therapy if their stimulated thyroglobulin levels stay below 10 ng/mL, R. Michael Tuttle, M.D., said at the annual meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the … Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in N stage (P = 0.003) and ratioTg (acceptable vs. non-acceptable responses, 21.9 ± 33.6 vs. 3.8 ± 6.5; P = 0.006). This is due to both surgery and, when needed, radioactive iodine therapy. I get my thyroglobulin levels checked in July, two months after RAI and I went from 16 (before RAI) up to 19.5. Stevic I, Dembinski TC, Pathak KA, Leslie WD. [ 72 ] found a 97.5% concordance between serum thyroglobulin levels and the presence or absence of thyroid cancer while the patients were receiving suppressive closes of thyroxine.

For the nine patients with incomplete resection/metastases, Tg levels were higher throughout … We evaluated 68 patients who underwent RAI therapy after total thyroidectomy. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS STUDY? After your surgery and RAI, it may take months or years for the Tg … Post surgery TG was 3.0 and slowly rose to 4.5 In October of 2011 RAI treatment followed by full body scan that was 'clean'. The objectives of this study were to report the risk of recurrence in patients with PTC who had an undetectable Tg level after total thyroidectomy managed with … It is generally performed once or twice a year during follow up, unless it is abnormal, when more frequent estimation may be done. He had no history of prior head and neck radiation exposure. After surgery and, if needed, radioactive iodine therapy, patients are monitored for cancer recurrence by ultrasound imaging and by a blood test (thyroglobulin), which is accurate after a total thyroidectomy, but there are few large studies looking at how thyroglobulin predicts recurrence after a lobectomy. Mutsuddy P, Jeon S, Yoo SW, Zhang Y, Chowdhury MSA, Kim J, Song HC, Bom HS, Min JJ, Kwon SY. 2000 Apr;30(2):107-14. doi: 10.1053/nm.2000.4600. Epub 2015 Apr 17.

Follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancers after thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine ablation Clinical Information Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a thyroid-specific glycoprotein (approximately 660 KDa) that serves as the source for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) production within the lumen of thyroid follicles. Small amounts of intact Tg are secreted alongside T4 and … Epub 2013 Mar 13. Blood thyroglobulin levels are used to detect thyroid cancer recurrence, as an increase after thyroidectomy likely comes from thyroid cancer cells. Since the thyroid remnant left after near total thyroidectomy typically approximates 2 grams of tissue, a serum Tg concentration less than 2 ng/mL is expected when the patient has undergone successful near-total thyroidectomy and has serum TSH maintained below 0.1 mU/L. Patients with a D0Tg level greater than 2.0 ng/mL were excluded to more precisely evaluate the injury effect of RAI in small remnant tissues. Kim HK, Yoon JH, Cho JS, Kwon SY, Yoo SW, Kang HC.

Followup after Total Thyroidectomy and RAI. Mean stimulated Tg levels for DTC patients with complete resection at 7 days post-RAI increased 13-fold from 13.7 to 175.5 μg/L (p < 0.0001), and the Tg levels reduced to 2.3 μg/L (p < 0.0001 versus post-RAI) by follow-up.None of the patients had recurrence of disease. The ratioTg was defined as the D7Tg level … Results: There is currently no agreement regarding the best timing of administration of radioactive iodine. Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were measured three times: just before radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy at admission day (D0Tg) and 2 days (D2Tg) and 7 days (D7Tg) after RAI therapy, respectively, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of ratioTg (D7Tg/D0Tg) for the prediction of acceptable response after rhTSH-aided radioactive iodine therapy. After total thyroidectomy, serum thyroglobulin levels should be low unless there is persistent disease. • If your thyroglobulin range is “undetectable” (at UHN this means it is less than 0.9 Micrograms per Litre (ug/L) or below 5ug/L, and your thyroglobulin antibodies are normal, there is likely no normal thyroid tissue and no cancerous tissue found. Even without additional therapy, serum thyroglobulin concentrations often decline for years after total thyroidectomy and radioactive remnant ablation in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Thyroglobulin (Tg) is an important modality for monitoring patients with thyroid cancers, especially after thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine (RAI). Medicine (Baltimore). If you have had thyroid cancer, you want to take enough brand name T4 replacement to keep your TSH suppressed to above 0, … Its number should be as low as possible. Neck US is the first imaging study to screen for recurrence after total thyroidectomy and the optimal frequency of neck ultrasound after lobectomy is also unknown. Careers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done for immTg, stimTg, change in Tg levels (deltaTg: immTg - stimTg), immTg:stimTg ratio (ratioTg), and other potential clinical and pathologic markers of successful ablation. Optimization of Predictive Performance for the Therapeutic Response Using Iodine Scan-Corrected Serum Thyroglobulin in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma. Furthermore, combining high ratioTg and low stimTg provided added predictive value. The utility of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level, 3 days after radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, was assessed as a means of predicting successful ablation of thyroid remnant in patients with postoperative thyroid cancer. Epub 2019 Jul 29. Detection of residual and recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma by serum thyroglobulin measurement. Postoperative-stimulated serum thyroglobulin measured at the time of 131I ablation is useful for the prediction of disease status in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. It is also used as a marker for burden of thyroid tissue whether malignant or benign. Objective: Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer usually have an excellent prognosis. • If your thyroglobulin range is “detectable” (this means it is – 5 ug/L Design: Recombinant human TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels (rhTSH-Tg) are sufficient for early follow-up of low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients after thyroidectomy and radioiodine (131I) remnant ablation (RAI).
