Radioactive iodine therapy in thyroid disorders.
Radioactive iodine (1311) has a part to play in the therapy of two thyroid disorders, carcinoma and thyrotoxicosis, by virtue of the selective concentration of it which occurs in functioning thyroid cells. The latter represent the only significant site of concentration of the iodide ion in the body, this occurring because of the necessity to incorporate iodine into the molecule of the thyroid h...
متن کاملRadioactive Iodine Therapy Decreases Recurrence in Thyroid Papillary Microcarcinoma
Background. The most appropriate therapy for papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) is controversial. Methods. We reviewed the therapy and outcome of 407 patients with PMC. Results. Three hundred-eighty patients underwent total thyroidectomy, and 349 patients received I-131 therapy. The median followup was 5.3 years. Forty patients developed recurrent disease. On univariate analysis, development of dis...
متن کاملRadioactive Iodine Therapy of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: Redesigning the Paradigm
Radioactive iodine therapy has evolved over the past 70 years from treatment of known metastatic thyroid carcinoma to include adjuvant use to decrease the incidence of recurrent disease and to ablation of normal remnant tissue following thyroidectomy, even for minimal tumor involvement. Advances in laboratory testing, development of drugs useful in radioiodine treatment, as well as advances in ...
متن کاملSarcoidosis mimicking metastatic thyroid cancer following radioactive iodine therapy
INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas that can be present in diverse organ systems. Sarcoidosis can be associated with malignancy, presenting either preceding, during, or after chemotherapy. We herewith report a case of sarcoidosis mimicking cancer recurrence that developed after radioactive iodine therapy for papillary thyroid cancer. B...
متن کاملAnaplastic 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...
