Overview
Laboratory Findings
The following tests may be done:
- Thyroglobulin blood test to check for papillary or follicular cancer
- T3
- T4
- TSH
- Tumor marker tests
- Tumor markers are substances – usually proteins – in the blood that may indicate the presence of thyroid cancer. Tumour marker tests are used to check a person’s response to cancer treatment, but they can also be used to diagnose thyroid cancer. Tumour markers that may be measured are:
- Carcinoembryonic antigencarcinoembryonic antigenA protein that is normally found in small amounts in the blood of most healthy people but that can be higher in people who smoke tobacco or have certain types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer.
