This test is aslo known as Tg, TGB, Thyroglobulin Tumor Marker.
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a protein made by the thyroid gland. Certain types of thyroid cancer can also produce Tg.
The Thyroglobulin test is a type of tumor marker test used to measure the amount of Tg in the blood. Most often, doctors order Tg testing to evaluate the effectiveness of thyroid cancer treatment or to monitor for recurrence after treatment is completed. Tg levels may also be measured to help diagnose certain non-cancerous conditions of the thyroid.
Input your data
A thyroglobulin test may be requested after the surgical removal of your thyroid gland for cancer so your doctor can check for any normal and/or cancerous thyroid tissue that may have been left behind. It is often checked on a regular basis, even if negative after surgery, to make sure that the tumour has not come back or spread.
