Use of radioactive iodine is an essential adjuvant treatment strategy after thyroidectomy in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Although generally safe, radioiodine therapy has some potential side effects, classified as early and late complications, which we have reviewed in this paper. Early complications include gastrointestinal symptoms, radiation thyroiditis, sialadenitis/xeros...

Well under 15% of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is diagnosed at < or =18 years of age. The population is heterogenous and the differences between prepubertal children and pubertals and adolescents are to be considered. Although very little has been reported on children with sporadic DTC under the age of 10 years, juvenile DTC has at least some undeniable differences with adult DTC: (1)...

Traditionally, withdrawal of thyroid hormone has been used to attain the increase in serum TSH concentrations that are believed to optimize the trapping and retention of radioiodine for diagnostic procedures, thyroid remnant ablation and treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, withdrawal frequently causes clinical hypothyroidism, with resultant cognitive impairm...

Children are not “miniature” adults! Most experts around the world recognize differences between adult and pediatric thyroid cancer emphasize need for specific guidelines population. The American Thyroid Association (ATA) first developed separate Guidelines Treatment of Pediatric Nodules Carcinoma (hereafter, ATA Guidelines) in 2015 [1], which has been revised to date. In September 2022, Europe...

BACKGROUND Follicular cell thyroid carcinoma is a quite aggressive form of thyroid cancer. About 10% of follicular thyroid carcinoma shows multiple metastases: lung and bone are the most common sites of metastasis. Renal involvement from thyroid primary cancer is very rare with incidence of 4.5%-5.9%. PURPOSE We report the first laparoscopic conservative treatment of renal metastasis from thy...

although the basic question of ablative threshold dose for ablation of thyroid remnant after surgery yet remains unanswered. but radioiodine therapy is being used as a standard method of treatment. in present research, treatment responces for 100 patients with thyroid cancer treated with 3660 mbq of ¹³¹i were studied. significant response differences between female group (66%) and male group (3...

Suite au traitement par radioiode (I131) du cancer différencié de la thyroïde, les glandes salivaires peuvent être le siège d’inflammations, provoquant des troubles (TbS). L’incidence TbS est mal connue ainsi que facteurs risque cliniques et génétiques. L’étude START vise à estimer l’incidence après radioiode, individualiser cliniques, biomoléculaires biochimiques, valider une méthode d’estimat...

BACKGROUND Ablative radioiodine-131 ((131)I) therapy is used in the standart treatment procedure of thyroid carcinoma and procedures using (131)I represent the majority of Nuclear Medicine therapeutic procedures. The principal route of (131)I excretion after the administration of (131)I is the urine. Amifostine is an organic thiophosphate ester prodrug and the kidney concentrations of the activ...
