Post-thyroidectomy ultrasonography versus thyroglobulin as a surveillance tool for locoregional recurrence in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma: A single centre 10-year study
Neck US is highly sensitive but moderately specific for detecting locoregional recurrence post-thyroidectomy, complementing Tg. Study limitations include its retrospective design, single-centre setting, and lack of inter-observer variability assessment. A risk-adapted multimodal surveillance strategy with 6-monthly US for two years is recommended.
