UNLABELLED In 30-50% of patients with metastatic non-medullary thyroid cancer the metastases are not radioiodine-avid and so there is no effective treatment. Retinoids have demonstrated inhibition of thyroid tumor growth and induction of radioiodine uptake. The aim of our study was to assess benefits of the retinoic acid (RA) treatment to re-differentiate non-functional NMTC metastases. PATIE...
HIFU is used in the treatment of cancer (prostate, breast) and uterine fibroma but not yet in TNs. This case report describes the first successful ablation of a toxic TN with HIFU. TSH and radioiodine scan normalization were achieved without complications and maintained for 18 months. HIFU treatment is a minimally invasive technique that may be an effective safe alternative to radioiodine or su...
A 10-year-old boy was referred to us for evaluation of FUO accompanied with bone pain in both calves. Three hours after intravenous injection of 13 mCi of 99mTc-MDP, whole body scan in multiple spot views was performed. The scan showed symmetrical areas of diffusely increased tracer uptake in multiple long bones. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed osteosclrosis and fibrotic changes...
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...
Objective(s): Nuclear medicine technologists in Japan often perform additional single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with or without computed tomography (CT) after whole-body imaging for bone scintigraphy. In this study, we wanted to identify the bone scanning protocols used in Japan, together with the current clinical practices. Methods:...
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...
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease occurring predominantly in the tropics, caused by a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped obligatory aerobic non-spore forming bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei. It can produce localised or disseminated disease largely affecting immunocompromised patients. It is a challenge to identify melioidosis early as this disease can manipulate host’s ce...
Whole body iodine-131 scan is a well-established imaging method for the detection of metastatic or residual tumor sites in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Many false-positive iodine-131 scan findings mimicking metastatic thyroid cancer have long been reported. The authors describe a false positive uptake in normal gallbladder on post-ablative iodine-131 scan in a patient with ...
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...
BACKGROUND Radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) has traditionally been one of the cornerstones of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treatment. The decision to use RRA in low-risk (LR) and intermediate-risk (IR) patients is controversial. The aim of this review is to examine the evidence of RRA benefit in the staging, follow-up, and recurrence prevention in LR and IR DTC patients. METHODS From...
