introduction: patients administered with a therapeutic dose of 131i for thyroid cancer treatment are potential sources of unacceptably high radiation exposure to other individuals, particularly the patient's immediate family members. the aim of this study is to investigate effects of early liothyronine consumption after radio-iodine therapy on accumulated dose and exposure rate in patients with...

medullary thyroid carcinoma (mtc) occurs in both sporadic (75%) and hereditary (25%) forms. the missense mutations of the rearranged during transfection (ret) proto-oncogene in mtc development have been well demonstrated. the aim of this study was to investigate frequency of g691s/s904s haplotype in mtc patients and their relatives.in this research 293 participants were studied, including 181 p...

Introduction: Nowadays, radioisotopes have a lot of therapeutic and diagnostic applications in nuclear medicine. The technetium-99m radioisotope is widely used in the diagnostic field. The technetium-99m radioisotope is widely used in the diagnostic field. In this study, in order to increase the absorption dose in thyroid cancer cells, the radioactive drug technetium-99m which ...

BACKGROUND Parathyroid metastatic disease from thyroid cancer has not been studied extensively, mainly due to the need for parathyroid preservation during thyroid surgery. METHODS We reviewed files from 1,770 patients with thyroid cancer followed up in our department and 10 patients with parathyroid metastases (0.5%) were identified. Patient and tumor characteristics were recorded. RESULTS ...

The treatment of thyroid cancer using an unsealed source of radioactive materials is usually associated with a large amount of 131I. A major problem for hospital admission of these patients is the waste disposal which requires protection of the public. 152 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the nuclear medicine department of Said AI- Shohada Hospital for UI I treatment were studied. 1...

Objective(s): As the most prevalent endocrine system malignancy, papillary thyroid carcinoma had a very fast rising incidence in recent years for unknown reasons besides the fact that the current methods in thyroid cancer diagnosis still hold some limitations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to improve the potential molecular markers for diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules to...

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...

introduction: differentiated thyroid cancer (dtc) is the most common endocrine malignancy. this malignancy generally has an excellent prognosis with more than 90% long term survival. consequently, life quality improvement is the first priority especially in the young dtc survivors. in classic management of a new dtc patient, each therapeutic modality can significantly induce morbidities. in the...
