Matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparison in patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer

Matching-Adjusted Indirect Treatment Comparison And Survival Extrapolation In Radioiodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (Rai-Refractory Dtc): Updated Analysis.

Radioiodine 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...

Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Management of Patients with Radioiodine Nonresponsive Disease

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (papillary and follicular) has a favorable prognosis with an 85% 10-year survival. The patients that recur often require surgery and further radioactive iodine to render them disease-free. Five percent of thyroid cancer patients, however, will eventually succumb to their disease. Metastatic thyroid cancer is treated with radioactive iodine if the metastases are ...

Sorafenib in the treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer: a meta-analysis.

The advent of biologically targeted agents and increased understanding of thyroid carcinogenesis have generated much interest in the development of biologically targeted therapeutic agents for thyroid cancer. Among them, sorafenib is the most commonly studied drug. The current meta-analysis was carried out to estimate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib administered in radioiodine-refractory d...

Radioiodine treatment effects on lacrimal glands function in patients with thyroid cancer [Persian]

  Introduction: There is a limited number of case reports published in the past decade confirming the radio-iodine presence in the tear. These observations as well as reported cases of salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction after radioiodine therapy stimulated investigators to clarify whether lacrimal gland function can be affected post-radioiodine therapy. Hence we ...
