Kontinuierliche Sensitivittssteigerung in der Schilddrsenkarzinom-Nachsorge im Verlauf dreier Thyreoglobulin-IMA-Generationen

Aim of our study was to evaluate the increasing sensitivity within three generations of thyroglobulin (Tg) assays, which were available during the past decade, and its clinical impact for patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. METHODS: Determination of Tg using the IRMA introduced in 1989 (DynotestTg, Henning Berlin, Berlin; assay A) and 1994 (Selco Tg, Medipan Diagnostica, Selchow; assay B), as well as the IEMA available recently (MedizymTg Rem, Medipan Diagnostica, Selchow; assay C). RESULTS: We found a close correlation between the measurable Tg values of assay A and B (r=0.985; p<0.001) as well as assay B and C (r=0.978; p<0.001)...
