heal.abstract | The purpose of this study was to reveal some possible factors for the differences between the pattern of disappearance of thyroglobulin autoantibodies (anti-Tg) and thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (anti-TPO) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma following thyroidectomy and iodine-131 ablation. Patients with a history of follicular cell derived cancer (papillary, follicular, both papillary and follicular, Hurthle cell) and high pre-operative titers of anti-TPO and/or anti-Tg autoantibodies were retrospectively studied. Thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were measured using radio-immunometric assay (RIA). Anti-Tg and anti-TPO levels during the first 6 yr' follow-up were measured by passive agglutination, during the following 10 yr by ELISA method and during the last 2 yr by chemiluminescence assay. A statistically significant difference was observed between median time (72 months) of disappearance of anti-TPO and median time (39 months) of disappearance of anti-Tg in patients with complete ablation of thyroid tissue, following iodine-131 administration (p=0.0395, Logrank statistic=4.24, Kaplan-Meier method). A statistically significant difference was observed between median time (106 months) of disappearance of anti-TPO and median time (33 months) of disappearance of anti-Tg in patients >45 yr of age (p=0.034) and between median time (111 months) of disappearance of anti-TPO and median time (41 months) of disappearance of anti-Tg in patients with tumor size <2 cm (p=0.0175). We concluded that patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and pre-surgical elevated titers of both Tg and anti-TPO tend to become earlier anti-Tg seronegative. Although tumor size and age may influence the pattern of thyroid autoantibody reduction, the exact reasons for the different rhythm of autoantibodies decrease must further be evaluated. | en |
