| Popis: | Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels are used to monitor patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) after total thyroidectomy with or without radioiodine (RAI) ablation. However, they are also measured in patients who are treated with thyroid lobectomy (TL)/hemithyroidectomy (HT). Data on the levels of Tg and its trend in those undergoing TL/HT is sparse in India. We reviewed retrospective data of DTC patients who underwent TL/HT and were followed-up with postoperative Tg levels between 2015 and 2020. Out of 247 patients, 17 had undergone either TL or HT, which included papillary thyroid cancer (n = 12), follicular thyroid cancer (n = 4), and noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) in 1 patient. All patients with DTC had tumor size |
