Detailed Description: 1. Objective: To observe the difference between Thyogen® injection or Eltroxin® withdrawal on metabolic profile. 2. Background and method:: The prevalence of thyroid cancer has increased in recent decades. Patients with thyroid cancer need to choose between Thyrogen® injection and Eltroxin® withdrawal before radioiodine therapy or scan. This is a prospective, observational study, aiming to observe the difference of metabolic profiles between patients choose Thyrogen® injection and Eltroxin® withdrawal. Inclusion : Patient number: 500人 Inclusion criteria : 1. Patients with diagnosis of thyroid cancer。 2. Patients who need radioiodine therapy or scan。 Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients cannot cooperate with blood test.。 2. Patients cannot cooperate with radioiodine therapy。 Study design: Prospective, observational study。 Method: We will collect 20cc blood and 20 cc urine before and after radioiodine therapy during each visit (total 3 visits) and check lipid profiles, glucose profiles and inflammation markers.
