Low FDG Metabolic Activity of Loco-Regional Recurrence in Thyroid Cancer Patients; Is Iodine-131 has a Potentiality?

چکیده
Purpose: To investigate the impact of quantitative FDG-Metabolic activity of non-iodine avid Loco-regional recurrence [LRR; thyroid recurrence and/or cervical node metastasis] on therapy selection in thyroid cancer patients with elevated thyroglobulin [TG]. Methods: Forty thyroid cancer [33 papillary and 7 follicular] patients who underwent FDG PET/CT were studied [with TSH>30 mU/L]. Those with only LRR were classified according to maxSUV [cut-off level 5] into high and low metabolic activity lesions [HMA &LMA]; their therapy outcome was compared with histopathologic findings and/or follow-up

Objective: Resistance of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) to high dose I-131 therapy is associated with high morbidity in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. We evaluated the role of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the prediction of resistance to high dose I-131 therapy in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. Methods: The subjects were 307 patients who underwent total or near total thyroidectomy fol...

The aim of this study is to search for relationships between histology, radioiodine ((131)I) uptake, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, and disease outcome in patients with metastatic thyroid cancer. Eighty patients with metastatic thyroid cancer (34 males, 46 females, mean age at the time of the diagnosis of metastases: 55 years) were retrospectively studied. All patients were treated with radio...
