Excerpt

The introduction into clinical practice of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) has marked a turning point in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. RhTSH offers a safe and reliable alternative to thyroid hormone withdrawal by avoiding both the clinical consequences of hypothyroidism, with a positive impact on quality of life and work productivity, and the potential risk of cancer growth due to a long-lasting endogenous TSH stimulation. …
