Core Tip

Core Tip: Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common cancer in the endocrine system. It has been established that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the growth and development of thyroid malignancy, and a higher serum TSH level is associated with the incidence of thyroid cancer and an advanced tumor stage. This study aims to explore the clinical value of TSH in regulating the progress of TC, which can provide a new direction for thyroid therapy.
