Less than 2% of the Low- and Intermediate-Risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancers Show Distant Metastases at Post-Ablation Whole-Body Scan

The cost-effectiveness of performing RRA and ptWBS in all LR and IR patients to find 1 –2% of the cases with distant metastases remains controversial.Eur Thyroid J
