ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the positive predictive value (PPV) of detectable stimulated thyroglobulin during the first year after treatment of thyroid carcinoma (Tg-1) and the value of comparison with Tg-ablation and measured after 24 months (Tg-2). Forty-two consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy and ablation with detectable Tg-1 (>1ng/mL) were selected. The patients had well-differentiated tumors, which were completely resected, and there was no ectopic uptake on whole body scan after 3.7-5.5GBq I(131). Imaging methods during follow-up revealed metastases in 10 patients (24%) (15% if Tg-1
