Does change in tsh indicate cancer may have returned?

Not necessarily: If after thyroid removal for cancer, we try to set TSH levels by adjusting thyroid hormone supplementation, aiming for very low levels for intermediate or high risk cases. 1st eval should be supplement adjustment & then possibly imaging.
