Therapeutic indication
Thyrogen is indicated for use with serum thyroglobulin (Tg) testing with or without radioiodine imaging for the detection of thyroid remnants and well-differentiated thyroid cancer in post-thyroidectomy patients maintained on hormone-suppression therapy (THST).
Low-risk patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma who have undetectable serum Tg levels on THST and no recombinant human (rh) TSH-stimulated increase of Tg levels may be followed-up by assaying rh TSH-stimulated Tg levels.
Thyrogen is indicated for pre-therapeutic stimulation in combination with 100 mCi (3.7 GBq) radioiodine for ablation of thyroid tissue remnants in patients who have undergone a near-total or total thyroidectomy for well-differentiated thyroid cancer and who do not have evidence of distant metastatic thyroid cancer.
