Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of follicular thyroid cancer include elevated T3, elevated T4, and decreased TSH.

Laboratory Findings

The following tests may be done:

  • Thyroglobulin blood test to check for 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.
