Detection of circulating Tg-mRNA in the follow-up of papillary and follicular thyroid cancer: how useful is it?

Abstract:

:To investigate the usefulness of thyroglobulin mRNA (Tg-mRNA) detection in peripheral blood in the follow-up of papillary and follicular (differentiated) thyroid cancer, a literature study was performed. Both evidence for and evidence against the usefulness of Tg-mRNA detection were found. Also, evidence for the expression of Tg-mRNA in cells other than normal or neoplastic thyroid follicular cells was found. It is concluded that currently Tg-mRNA detection is not a useful tool in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, but that the concept of using RT-PCR measurements during follow-up still warrants further research.
