Targeted radioactive iodine treatment destroys remaining thyroid tissue and microscopic cancer cells after surgery. This is typically recommended for intermediate to high-risk thyroid cancer cases.
procedureThyroglobulin Surveillance
Regular blood tests measuring thyroglobulin levels serve as a tumor marker to detect cancer recurrence. Imaging studies including ultrasound are combined with lab monitoring for comprehensive surveillance.
monitoringNutritional Support
