Role of Radio-Iodine Ablation According to Risk Stratification in Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
The appropriate dose of I131 thyroid ablation is a source of continuing controversy. High fixed dose (75-150 mCi) have been advocate by some authors, obviating the need for reablation [2-3]. Low dose ablation, i.e. a fixed dose of 30 mCi has also been advocated avoiding hospitalization in isolated room with low radiation dose to the patient particularly young individuals who may wish to have ch...
متن کاملLow and High Radio-Iodine-131 Doses in Postoperative Ablation in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
The goals of post-surgical RAI therapy in patients with differentiated DTC are to ablate residual normal thyroid tissue that may facilitate surveillance,) Also the potential tumoricidal effect on residual microscopic RAI-avid disease, and to provide a posttreatment whole-body scan that may reveal undetected local or distant metastases.Although, these goals are important, the ultimate endpoint o...
متن کاملSorafenib in radioactive iodine-refractory well-differentiated metastatic thyroid cancer
Recent Phase III data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2013 annual conference by Brose et al led to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of sorafenib for the treatment of well-differentiated radioactive iodine-resistant metastatic thyroid cancer. This is the second drug in 40 years to be FDA approved for this indication. Recent reviews and a meta-analy...
متن کاملNasolacrimal duct obstruction following radioactive iodine 131 therapy in differentiated thyroid cancers: review of 19 cases
BACKGROUND Radioactive iodine 131 ((131)I) therapy has long been used in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). While salivary and lacrimal glandular complications secondary to (131)I therapy are well documented, there is little in the literature addressing nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). We aimed to evaluate the frequency of (131)I therapy-acquired NLDO, its correlation t...
متن کاملPrototype imaging protocols for monitoring the efficacy of iodine-131 ablation in differentiated thyroid cancer.
Whole-body and single photon emission tomography (SPET) images during sodium iodide-131 (Na131I) ablation are useful to confirm the efficacy of ablation using 131I imaging. However, there have been no attempts to improve the quality of 131I imaging. We therefore investigated imaging protocols for 131I imaging in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Phantoms containing 131I were used to simulate...
