Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma with Elevated Thyroglobulin and Negative Radioiodine Whole-Body Scan Metastases
Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and Tg antibody (TgAb) levels, together with neck ultrasonography and 131I whole-body scintigraphy (WBS), are diagnostic tools for postoperative follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Generally, good correlation is seen between Tg and WBS in follow-up studies for DTC after thyroid remnant ablation. Undetectable serum Tg with negative WBS resu...
متن کاملIs empiric 131I therapy justified for patients with positive thyroglobulin and negative 131I whole-body scanning results?
UNLABELLED The long-term monitoring of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is essential throughout the patient's life after total or nearly total thyroidectomy followed by 131I remnant ablation and thyroid hormone suppression of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Sensitive surveillance for DTC recurrences and metastases includes radioiodine diagnostic whole-body scanning (DWBS)...

متن کاملPossible explanations for patients with discordant findings of serum thyroglobulin and 131I whole-body scanning.
The long-term monitoring of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is essential throughout the patient's life after total or near-total thyroidectomy followed by (131)I remnant ablation and thyroid hormone suppression of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Sensitive surveillance for DTC recurrence and metastases includes radioiodine diagnostic whole-body scanning (DWBS) and measure...
متن کاملValue of Dedicated Head and Neck 18F-FDG PET/CT Protocol in Detecting Recurrent and Metastatic Lesions in Post-surgical Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Patients with High Serum Thyroglobulin Level and Negative 131I Whole-body Scan
Objective(s): In clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative 131I whole-body scan (WBS) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in DTC patients with high seru...
