Abstract

Elevated preoperative thyroglobulin-antibody titers do not seem to affect the likelihood of developing thyroid cancer, even though they seem to be a surrogate for lymph node metastasis (as opposed to thyroid peroxidase antibodies, TPO-Abs). Further work is needed to clarify the interplay of this immune response on thyroid cancer metastatic behavior.
