Starts from 1000*
Thyroglobulin is a protein that is made by the cells present in the thyroid. The thyroid gland is small in size (butterfly-shaped) and located near the throat inside the body.
The thyroglobulin (Tg) test measures the level of Thyroglobulin inside the body. The main usage of Thyroglobulin is to help with the treatment of thyroid cancer. Thyroglobulin is actually produced by cancerous and normal thyroid cells – the thyroglobulin test is a tumor marker used to trace tumours inside the body.

AN OVERVIEW
About Thyroglobulin (Tg) Test
Why is the Thyroglobulin (Tg) test done?
The thyroglobulin test is mainly done for the following reasons:
- To check the level of Thyroglobulin being produced inside the body.
- To check if the thyroid cancer treatment being done is successful. If the level of Thyroglobulin stays the same or increases after the treatment, that means there are still thyroid cancer cells inside the body. If the thyroglobulin cells decrease or vanish, that could mean that possibly cancerous cells have exited from the body.
- This test is also used to check whether cancer has returned after the treatment was successful.
It is essential to contact a doctor immediately after the test results.
What does the Thyroglobulin (Tg) test measure?
As the name suggests, the main purpose of the Thyroglobulin test is to check for the levels of Thyroglobulin inside the body. Since this test is used for thyroid cancer treatment, Thyroglobulin is used as a marker for the tumor (Thyroglobulin can be produced by normal and cancerous cells).
The main aim of thyroid cancer treatment is to eradicate all the cancerous cells inside the body. Under normal circumstances, there should be little to no trace of Thyroglobulin inside the body. So, after the cancer treatment is done for the thyroid gland, the test is done again to check if there is any evidence of Tg inside the body.
The cancer treatment involves removal of the thyroid gland with surgery which is followed by therapy through radioactive iodine. This radioiodine is mostly given as a liquid or capsule to the patient. The Tg test is a useful indicator of the presence of any cancer inside the body.
Risk/Side-effects of Thyroglobulin (Tg) test
This is a basic blood test that has no risks or side effects involved. There might be slight pain or bruising in the area where the needle was pierced inside the body. In rare cases, some blood might collect under the skin near the area where the blood is taken, or there might be some infection, but that is nothing to worry about. All the test needs are some extra precautions from the healthcare specialist, and you’ll be fine for the test.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Thyroglobulin (Tg) test results
There will probably be several tests that would be done on the patient, depending on the treatment and what stage cancer might be on. The results can be interpreted as such:
- If the level of Thyroglobulin inside the body has increased over time or is high, this could mean that the thyroid cancer cells are slowly growing and/or the cancer is spreading inside the body.
- If there is little to no trace of Thyroglobulin inside the body, this could mean that the treatment has worked and cancer has positively been eradicated.
- If the thyroglobulin level decreased after the treatment, but it has started to increase over time, that means that cancer has returned, and immediate treatment needs to begin.
- If the Tg levels are increasing, the healthcare specialist would most likely recommend a radioactive iodine test to remove the cancerous cells. Contact a doctor immediately if any traces are found inside the body.
