Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies do not significantly increase the risk of finding iodine avid metastases on post-radioactive iodine ablation scan in low-risk thyroid cancer patients
ConclusionIn patients with low-risk DTC, anti-Tg Abs did not significantly predict metastatic disease on post-therapy scan. If confirmed, these data suggest that the presence of anti-Tg Abs alone should not influence initial therapy in patients with low-risk DTC.
