Summary Context The coexistence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and thyroid autoimmune disease could represent a better or worse prognosis. This study investigated the prognostic importance of preoperative anti‐thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) in DTC patients. Design and patients This retrospect...
