Thirty patients thyroidectomized for differentiated thyroid cancer were studied. Serum TSH was assayed in basal conditions and after TRH stimulation, while patients were in suppressive therapy with thyroid hormones. The basal TSH was normal in all the patients and less than 2 microU/ml in 20 patients. The TRH test was negative (no TSH response) in 27 patients and in all the cases with the basal TSH lower than 2 microU/ml.
