“…A similar reasoning is reported by Zanotti-Fregonara et al who recommend administration of 131 I in patients with an undetectable post-surgical Tg. 17 An undetectable Tg level is compatible with RAI therapy when therapeutic benefit is expected and iodine uptake is confirmed by scintigraphy. In the series by Park et al, 47 of 52 patients had one or more high doses of 131 I, and the patients showed resolution, improvement, or stability of the lesions, without any case of disease progression.…”

“…Low Tg may be seen with poorly differentiated carcinoma or nonimmunoreactive Tg. [ 4 ] Falsely low or high Tg level is also reported in the presence of heterophile antibodies in serum of the patient. In our study Tg was measured with two different techniques and showed persistently low Tg and anti-Tg level throughout the years of follow-up.…”
