Abstract
It has previously been shown that thyroid autoantibodies are frequent in patients treated for differentiated thyroid cancer 1,2 Whether these antibodies are due to therapy or are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease has, however, not yet been clarified. We were therefore interested in studying these antibodies in thyroid cancer before and after treatment.
