Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate the titer of autoantibody against thyroid carcinoma in 6 groups (progressive thyroid carcinoma, nonprogressive thyroid carcinoma, benign thyroid nodule, Graves' disease, chronic thyroiditis, and normal control) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To invastigate the change of titer in the treatment of thyroid carcinoma 2) To investigate the correlations between autoantibodies against thyroid carcinoma and clinical parameters including pathological diagnosis, cytological diagnosis, thyroid function test, thyroid autoantibodies, and imaging study 3) To investigate the safety including nonspecific antigen-antibody interaction | — |
