Ablation of the thyroid remnant and I-131 dose in differentiated thyroid cancer: a meta-analysis revisited.
Postoperative ablation of functioning thyroid tissue has become established in the management of differentiated thyroid cancer as the long-term risk of recurrence and death is reduced. This beneficial effect results from the destruction of potentially malignant cells or occult multifocal disease that may occur in up to 30% of patients with papillary tumors1-4 Furthermore, the specificity of thy...
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...
متن کاملI-131 for Remnant Ablation in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer After Thyroidectomy: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Evidence
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the success rate of various levels of I-131 activity for use in remnant ablation in low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS We identified eligible studies in 5 electronic databases up to December 2014 and the reference lists of original studies and review articles were hand searched for additional articles on this topic. Summa...
متن کاملI-131 remnant ablation after thyroidectomy induced hepatotoxicity in a case of thyroid cancer
BACKGROUND Radioactive iodine (I-131) is routinely used for the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer following surgery. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause of acute liver failure. Here we reported a rare case of diffuse hepatic uptake (DHU) of radioactive iodine (I-131) induced hepatotoxicity in patient with I-131 ablation therapy after thyroidectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A...
متن کاملComparison of outcomes after (123)I versus (131)I pre-ablation imaging before radioiodine ablation in differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
UNLABELLED Detection of residual tissue after thyroidectomy for papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma may be performed using diagnostic imaging with either (123)I or (131)I. The former is often preferred to avoid "stunning"-defined as a reduction in uptake of the therapeutic dose of (131)I caused by some form of cell damage from the diagnostic dosage of the radionuclide. Stunning could pote...
