With the increasing incidence of both obesity and thyroid cancer, we designed the present study to investigate a causal relationship between leptin, which is one of the well known adipokines, and well\u2010differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Serum leptin levels were measured in 30 patients with WDTC and compared to 30 healthy control subjects before and 1\u00a0month after surgery. Other parameters studied included age, sex, body mass index, menopausal status in women, lymph node status, tumor size, and disease multifocality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were no differences between the two groups regarding age and sex. Preoperative leptin levels were higher in the WDTC patients when compared to the control patients [19.25 (1.50\u2013109.60) vs 0.90 (0.50\u201311.80) ng\/ml, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, group 1 vs group 2, respectively]. A significant drop in leptin levels 1\u00a0month after surgery occurred in the WDTC group, falling from 19.25 (1.50\u2013109.60) to 0.90 (0.60\u20138.90) ng\/ml (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). This did not occur in the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.274). Lymph node involvement, tumor size, and multifocality had no effect on leptin levels, although trends were observed (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.48, 0.079, and 0.064), respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Serum leptin levels were significantly higher in WDTC patients when compared to control group patients, with a significant drop after surgery.
