## BACKGROUND. The aim of this study was to identify better prognostic parameters for normalization of serum calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients. ## METHODS. In 73 patients who had undergone systematic lymph node dissection for MTC between September 1995 and November 1998, pr
Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were measured during thyroid-hormone suppressive therapy in 291 patients who had been treated for well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The findings were compared with those of a subsequent total body scan (TBS) and with Tg levels measured after thyroid-hormone withd
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Serum thyroglobulin measurement is an integral part of monitoring patients with thyroid carcinoma, but analytic problems pose serious difficulties in the utility of this test. ## METHODS Between 1997 and 1998, serum samples from 83 patients with differentiated thyroid c
