Thyrogen (thyrotropin alfa) is an infusion drug crucial in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. As a synthetic form of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Thyrogen prompts thyroid cancer cells to absorb a trace amount of radioactive iodine, facilitating detection through scans. This aids in assessing the size, location, and progression of cancer.
Additionally, Thyrogen is employed to stimulate remaining thyroid tissue post-thyroidectomy, preventing hypothyroidism by encouraging hormone production.
