Abstract
Purpose  Stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) and 131I total-body scan (TBS) have been the mainstays of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), but now diagnostic TBS has been
eliminated from some follow-up protocols. Nevertheless, Tg can be negative in the presence of thyroid tissue, and moderately
elevated Tg poses management problems. The purpose of this study was to check how many patients have Tg negative but visible
thyroid tissue and if diagnostic TBS could be clinically useful.

Their major function is the recruitment of leukocytes to inflammation sites, but they also play roles in tumor growth, angiogenesis, organ sclerosis, and autoimmunity.
