1 TSH:Tg levels were found to be significantly higher in patients with malignant thyroid diseases (0.24+-1 vs. 0.87+-3.4, p=0.024). Thyrotropin thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
2 Although univariate analysis showed that the TSH:Tg ratio was a predictor for thyroid malignancy (OR 0.001; 95% CI, 0.01-0.125; p=0.007) in conjunction with FNAB, multivariate analysis failed to demonstrate any statistical significance for any factor except FNAB. Thyrotropin thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
3 However, a higher preoperative serum TSH:Tg ratio may hint at an increased risk for thyroid carcinoma. Thyrotropin thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
