What is THYROGLOBULIN (TG)?

The Thyroglobulin (TG) test measures the level of a protein produced by the thyroid gland. It is primarily used as a tumor marker, especially after thyroid cancer treatment.

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for monitoring patients who have undergone thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer, helping to detect any recurrence or persistent disease. Elevated levels can suggest the presence of thyroid cancer cells.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
