Antithyroglobulin antibodies in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma: methods of detection, interference with serum thyroglobulin measurement and clinical significance.
Antithyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay (ICMA) and an agglutination test. TgAb laboratory and clinical interference with Tg measurements were assessed. The course of TgAb concentration and disease status were compared during 3 years after initial treatment. The agglutination test failed to detect all titers < 10 IU/mL (ICMA). Interference from TgAb...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Basal Serum Thyroglobulin Levels, but Not Basal Antithyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb) Levels, in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
OBJECTIVE The prognostic values of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and antithyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels, measured immediately before I-131remnant ablation in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), have been advocated by some researchers; however, it had controversial outcomes. This study was carried out to examine this dilemma and to check the clinical significance of basal serum T...
متن کاملThe efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of benign thyroid nodules
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising form of thermal ablation of benign thyroid nodules, but evidence supporting its use is scarce. The present review evaluated the efficacy and safety of single-session HIFU treatment of benign thyroid nodules. As reported in the literature, the extent of nodule shrinkage following treatment ranged from 48.8% to 68.8%. Like other forms of abl...
متن کاملHigh intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of benign thyroid nodules – a systematic review
BACKGROUND With an increasing number of imaging studies being done nowadays, the number of incidentally discovered thyroid nodules is expected to rise. Although many of these nodules are small and benign in nature, some do grow and may cause pressure and/or thyrotoxic symptoms. Surgical resection has traditionally been recommended for symptomatic nodules but is associated with risk of hypothyro...
متن کاملIncidence of Goiter with Benign and Malignat Thyroid Nodules Following Radiotherapy of Scalp in Childhood
We examined 812 subjects with a history of radiation to the head for the treatment of scalp worm infestation in during childhood. 36% of the subjects had goiters grades IA and II3. Another 134 subjects ( 17%) were found to have thyroid nodularity, 85 of whom bad solitary cold nodules. 43 patients whith either a solitary cold nodule or a multinodular goiter with a priominent cold nodule were ope...
