Popis: Differentiated thyroid carcinomas are TSH-dependent tumors induced by genetic and environmental factors. They may be found on 3-12% of single thyroid lesions. Females are more affected than males (F:M 3:1). The combined action of genetic and environmental factors induces the development of these tumors. The cornerstone of diagnostic evaluation is Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). Size tumors2.5 cm and age45 aa are unfavorable prognostic factors. Radical surgery is the first choice therapy followed by hormone suppressive therapy and/or I131. Follow-up is based on WBS and serum Tg evaluation. Moreover recombinant TSH offers a new approach in the field of relapse diagnosis and therapy.
