Changes in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
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 and thyroid gland
administration of a precise amount of activity in thyroid gland radioiodine (¹³¹i) therapy is of prime importance. several methods for this purpose have been suggested and used over many years. in this paper, a method for required ¹³¹i activity calculation for each case has been proposed. major factors affecting ¹³¹i calculation such as gland volume, integral dose, and prescription index have b...
متن کاملRadioiodine therapy of thyroid disease.
Ten "ideal" steps used at the University of Michigan to treat well-differentiated thyroid cancer are presented. Using this in 103 patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma and metastases outside their neck, those that were freed of their disease after 131I therapy survived three times as long as those not cured of their disease. Patients successfully cured of their metastases showed b...
متن کاملEarly changes in thyroid-stimulating antibody activity following radioiodine therapy.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the titre of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody with stimulating (TRAb-S) activity changes in patients with Graves' disease (GD) or toxic multinodular goitres (TMNG) 3 months after treatment with sodium iodide ((131)I). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Serum specimens were obtained from 21 hyperthyroid patients (15 with GD and 6 w...
