متن کاملDifferentiated Thyroid Carcinoma with Elevated Thyroglobulin and Negative Radioiodine Whole-Body Scan Metastases
Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and Tg antibody (TgAb) levels, together with neck ultrasonography and 131I whole-body scintigraphy (WBS), are diagnostic tools for postoperative follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Generally, good correlation is seen between Tg and WBS in follow-up studies for DTC after thyroid remnant ablation. Undetectable serum Tg with negative WBS resu...
متن کاملExtremity Radioactive Iodine Uptake on Post-therapeutic Whole Body Scan in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Objective(s): We investigated a frequency of lower extremity uptake on the radioactive iodine (RAI) whole body scan (WBS) after RAI treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, in order to retrospectively examine whether or not the frequency was pathological. Methods: This retrospective study included 170 patients with thyroid cancer, undergoing RAI treatment. Overall, 99r (58%) an...
متن کاملValue of Dedicated Head and Neck 18F-FDG PET/CT Protocol in Detecting Recurrent and Metastatic Lesions in Post-surgical Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Patients with High Serum Thyroglobulin Level and Negative 131I Whole-body Scan
Objective(s): In clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative 131I whole-body scan (WBS) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in DTC patients with high seru...
متن کاملPathological evaluation of differentiated thyroid cancer in patients with positive serum thyroglobulin and negative iodine scan.
OBJECTIVE There is no investigation that emphasizes the pathology of DTC (differentiated thyroid cancer) patients with positive Tg and negative iodine scan. The present study was performed to assess the pathology of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, the records of 500 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer between June 2005 and November 2011 were assessed...
