Radioiodine Therapy in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
For many years the recommended therapy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), with the exception of unifocal papillary carcinoma <1 cm in diameter, has consisted of (near) total thyroidectomy followed by postoperative radioiodine ablation of thyroid remnant tissue. Even though results from randomized controlled trials are still missing, this combination has proven its worth as a safe and v...
متن کاملPredictors of success of the ablative/therapeutic radioiodine (131I) in differentiated thyroid cancer
Introduction:Differentiatedthyroid carcinoma (DTC) constitute approximately 90% of all thyroid tumors with an overall excellent prognosis. However, there is a small group of patients with a more aggressive form of disease, usually associated with certain poor prognostic factors. Using our large database of patients with DTC, the current study aims at identifying some of these f...
متن کاملDifferentiated Thyroid Cancer: Management of Patients with Radioiodine Nonresponsive Disease
Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (papillary and follicular) has a favorable prognosis with an 85% 10-year survival. The patients that recur often require surgery and further radioactive iodine to render them disease-free. Five percent of thyroid cancer patients, however, will eventually succumb to their disease. Metastatic thyroid cancer is treated with radioactive iodine if the metastases are ...
متن کاملRadioiodine therapy effects on salivary gland function in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer [Persian]
Salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. Salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. Methods: Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with Tc-99m Pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. Ejection Fraction (EF) of parotid and submandibula...
متن کاملRadioiodine-remnant ablation in low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer: pros.
Differentiated thyroid carcinomas are typically treated with total thyroidectomy as initial therapy. Subsequent radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation destroys post-surgical thyroid remnants, can additionally provide adjuvant therapy of residual and metastatic thyroid cancers, and enhances the sensitivity and specificity of further diagnostic studies. There is current controversy regarding whether a...
