Plasma TSH levels were measured on 114 occasions in 96 patients treated for differentiated thyroid cancer. Prior to thyroid surgery, plasma TSH levels were within the range of normal. Plasma TSH levels increased slightly following partial thyroid resection and definitely after total thyroid ablation. In patients where the removal of normal thyroid induced hormonogenesis in thyroid tumours, plasma TSH levels were dependent on the hormonal secretion of the tumour as shown by inverse relationship between TSH and both PBI and 131I uptake. The increase of radioiodide uptake following stimulation by exogenous bovine TSH was inversely related to the plasma thyrotropin levels. The suppressibility of enhanced thyrotropin levels was complete with individually adjusted doses of synthetic thyroid hormones. With the exception of patients on suppressive treatment, TRH administration induced increase in plasma TSH levels. The findings are discussed with regard to the role played by TSH in the induction of hormonogenesis in thyroid tumours. The practical values of TSH estimation and TRH stimulation seem to be low; the measurements of thyrotropin levels may be important for the estimation of the suppressive effect in the course of and following withdrawal of treatment with thyroid hormones.
