The use of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) has recently become available as an alternative diagnostic tool to assess the persistence and recurrence of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) in patients on thyroid hormone-suppressive therapy (THST) after near-total or total thyroidectomy and ablative doses of (131)I. We report the results of rhTSH administration in patients who were monitored for DTC.
