title: [The differential diagnosis of thyroid cancer using radioimmunologic analysis].
abstract: Clinical and radioimmunoassay investigations performed in 162 patients with different thyroid diseases, have shown that changes in the levels of T3, T4 and TSH do not allow assessment of the nature of a tumor process. The level of calcitonin is a tumor marker of medullary carcinoma and C-cell thyroid adenomas. In the absence of pathological changes in the thyroid an increase in the level of thyroglobulin can be regarded as a tumor marker of metastatic growth of papillary and papillary-follicular cancer.
