Predictive Factors of Athyroglobulinemia After Total Thyroidectomy for Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

: Thyroglobulin (Tg) is the specific tumor marker for epithelial thyroid cancer. It holds significant value in the postoperative period, and somehow, the goal of surgery in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) undergoing total thyroidectomy is to achieve undetectable levels of postoperative thyroglobulin (uTg). : This is a retrospective single-center study in which first basal Tg values were evaluated post-surgery in PTC patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
