Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Following Radioactive Iodine Therapy for Graves' Disease
Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy has been used as a treatment option for Graves' disease, and it has been widely accepted to be safe. On the other hand, some evidence suggests that RAI therapy is possibly associated with a small increased risk of thyroid cancer. Herein, we report a rare case of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) associated with Graves' disease, following RAI treatment. A 42-yea...
متن کاملMR findings in Hashimoto encephalopathy.
A 35-year-old Korean woman had Hashimoto encephalopathy of varying MR imaging appearance over 5 years that ranged from that of transient subcortical ischemia to that of gradually evolving multifocal signal intensity change accompanied by unilateral cerebellar atrophy. Thus, the MR imaging appearance of Hashimoto encephalopathy may simulate an ischemic stroke, multiple tumors or granulomas, or e...
متن کاملSingle dose planning for radioiodine-131 therapy of Graves' disease.
OBJECTIVE Patients with Graves' disease were studied one year after radioiodine-131 therapy to assess the relationship between the effectiveness of the therapy and the radioiodine doses used. METHODS Patients were classified into three groups according to thyroid function as hyperthyroidism, euthyroidism and hypothyroidism at one year after I-131 therapy. In these groups we compared the mean ...
متن کاملRadioiodine I-131 for the therapy of graves' disease.
Graves' disease is a common cause of hyperthyroidism. Treatment options for Graves' disease include antithyroid medication, surgery or radioactive iodine (I-31) or RAI. This review will focus on the approach to RAI therapy; discussing dose selection, patient preparation, and consideration before and after administering RAI, examining aspects of pre-treatment with antithyroid medication as well ...
متن کاملRadioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...
