TSH, T4 and T3 levels monitored and analyzed in biochemistry laboratory using Cobas e411 Fully Automated Machin. Thyroid cancer struck most females than males. Thyroid cancer incidence has increased among people aged 20 to 40. Most thyroid cancer cases are papillary thyroid carcinoma. Thyroidectomy was done with an 87.14% success rate. The level of TSH hormones increased in thyroid cancer patients. Also, the percentage of T4 hormone levels was mostly increased, whereas thyroid cancer had no proven effect on T3.
