An investigation of galectin-3 and thyroglobulin using IFA was conducted in 80 patients. A lavage of aspirate from the thyroid gland was obtained by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. It was stated that significant increase of galectin-3 and thyroglobulin was noted in case of high differentiated thyroid carcinoma in comparison with benign nodules. Galectin-3 and thyroglobulin from the lavage of thyroid gland aspirate could be used as an oncological marker for complex differentiated diagnostics of high differentiated thyroid carcinoma and benign nodules.
