dc.description.abstractThe incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has increased substantially worldwide in the past four decades. Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and radioiodine diagnostic whole body scan (131-­‐I Dx WBS) are two main surveillance tools to investigate for persistent disease after initial therapy -­‐ total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA). This study evaluates the correlation, predictive value and reliability of stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) for detection of structural evidence of disease (SED) in 131-­‐I Dx WBS 6 months after initial therapy in the Nuclear Medicine Department Penang Hospital (NMDPH).
