description

  • Higher-but-within-normal thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) is associated with higher risk for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in surgical series. Our recent clinical observations suggest that this is not the case in the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). We designed the present study to clarify this controversy.
