What is a Thyroglobulin Test in Pune?
The Thyroglobulin Test in Pune measures the amount of thyroglobulin protein in your blood. This protein is produced by the thyroid gland and is used as a tumour marker for monitoring thyroid cancer. After thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy, thyroglobulin levels should drop to nearly zero. If levels rise later, it may indicate remaining thyroid tissue or cancer recurrence.
A blood sample is collected in a gel vacutainer and analysed using the ECLIA method.

The test provides key information for post-treatment thyroid monitoring:
- Cancer Treatment Monitoring: Evaluates how well thyroid cancer treatment has worked.
- Recurrence Detection: Identifies whether thyroid cancer has returned after surgery or therapy.
