Effect of Radioiodine Therapy on Several Hematological and Immune Parameters in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
نویسنده
چکیده
It is also known that RAI treatment can induce an alteration in immune response to thyroid antigens in Graves’ disease (5). Thus it is also possible that thyroid antigens can be released into the circulation after destruction of thyroid cells by RAI in patients with thyroid cancer. Evidence for this comes from our previous study which showed that serum thyroid peroxidase was detectable after RAI treatment in Effect of Radioiodine Therapy on Several Hematological and Immune Parameters in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

Effect of administrated activity, admission number and TSH level on radiation retention curve of patients taking iodine-131 therapy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma: Looking beyond established regulations
Introduction: Retention of I-131 in the body of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) has a direct effect on therapeutic outcome of radioiodine therapy. There are several factors that may influence retention time of radioiodine in the body of these patients. In this study we are going to assess effects of administered radioiodine activity, serum thyroid stimulati...

Introduction:Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) follow-up after thyroidectomy and radioiodine-ablation is performed mainly by thyroglobulin (Tg), diagnostic iodine-131 whole body scan (DxWBS) and sonography. Some patients with undetectable Tg have thyroid-bed uptake after ablation in whom decision making regarding the need for retreatment is still controversial. Me...

Background: Radioiodine therapy has proven to be an effective method in the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma after thyroidectomy. The scope of this study is to describe a method to obtain the dose of organs using medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) method. At the end, the results of MIRD calculations were compared with thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD...
متن کاملRadioiodine therapy effects on salivary gland function in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer [Persian]
Salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. Salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. Methods: Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with Tc-99m Pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. Ejection Fraction (EF) of parotid and submandibula...
