Group 1:
-newly diagnosed patients with TC that are therapy naïve and are planned to
receive conventional treatment by surgery followed by RAI.
-no evidence of local or distant metastases
Group 2:
-patients with TC with evidence of distant metastases (either newly diagnosed
patients who are therapy naïve or patients with persistent or recurrent
disease) and are planned to receive conventional treatment by surgery followed
by RAI.
-at least 4 months since the previous treatment with RAI (in the patients who
have had this treatment in the past)
Group 3:
-patients with MNG in which the decision has been taken to undergo surgery
because of obstructive symptoms or for cosmetic reasons
Group 4:
-patients with MNG in which the decision has been taken to undergo RAI because
of obstructive symptoms.
Group 5:
-healthy individuals without evidence of thyroid disease.
Excluded from participation in this study will be subjects who are/have:

Pregnant or breastfeeding;
Known inflammatory or infectious diseases or an immunosuppressive status;
Using medication interfering with the immune system;
Reduced platelets counts or other conditions associated with an increased risk
of bleeding.
Severe comorbidities: other active malignancy (except for basal cell
