We examined the utility of TSHR mRNA
in long-term follow-up of TC patients. From 2002 to 2007, TSHR mRNA was prospectively measured by quantitative reverse-transcription
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from peripheral blood samples in 259 patients, and those followed ≥3 months since initial
thyroidectomy were studied. TSHR mRNA levels were correlated to thyroglobulin (Tg), imaging studies, and disease status during
