متن کامل124I PET Assessment of Response of Bone Metastases to Initial Radioiodine Treatment of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
Iodine-positive bone metastases (BMs) are often resistant after initial radioiodine therapy applying the standard-activity approach. A comprehensive lesion-based response study for BMs has not, to our knowledge, yet been performed. In this study, pretherapy and follow-up 124I PET/CT data on BMs from differentiated thyroid cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed to assess the relationship ...
متن کاملDistant metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer: diagnosis, treatment and outcome.
The remarkably good prognosis and long-term survival in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are significantly reduced in patients with distant metastasis (DM). Multi-site metastases are associated with a high mortality rate reaching 92% at 5 years necessitating early diagnosis and treatment. The most common site of metastases are the lungs, followed by the bone, with the former having better pr...
متن کاملTreatment of distant metastases from follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer
Distant metastases from thyroid cancer of follicular origin are uncommon. Treatment includes levothyroxine administration at suppressive doses, focal treatment modalities with surgery, external radiation therapy and thermal ablation, and radioiodine in patients with uptake of (131)I in their metastases. Two thirds of distant metastases will become refractory to radioiodine at some point, and wh...
