Thyroglobulin test: The thyroglobulin test measures the thyroglobulin level in the blood. A thyroglobulin test is mostly used as a tumour marker test to help guide thyroid cancer treatment. Thyroid cancer develops from the tissues of the thyroid gland. It is a disease in which cells grow abnormally and can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include swelling or a lump in the neck.
