Selective Neck Dissection Guided by a Radioactive I125 Seed for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Recurrence.

We present 3 cases of cervical non palpable thyroid cancer recurrence managed with I125 seed radioguided cervical dissection from 2017 to 2019. Two of the cases had already a thyroidectomy and central compartment lymphadenectomy performed. The seed was placed guided by US on the lesion and its position was confirmed afterwards. The target was successfully localized in 100% of cases. There was no post surgery complications. There was no evidence of recurrence with a mean follow up of 15 months. Radioguided surgery using I125 seed it is a save technique and it offers a precise localization of the non palpable thyroid cancer recurrence. PMID: 32505561 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
