Current approach to pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer
Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 Mar 6. doi: 10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03551-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifferentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) is a rare cancer in children and adolescents, having features of different clinical presentation, biological behavior, and treatment from adult population. Most of the patient management guidelines are based on literature on adult population and the literature on children and adolescents still limited. There are still unsettled issues regarding both patient management and the therapy. However, the current approach for treatment of DTC includes thyroidectomy, lymph node dissection in ...

Nuclear medicine and pediatric nephro-urology: a long-lasting successful partnership
Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 Mar 6. doi: 10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03557-X. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCongenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, as well as urinary infections, are very frequent in children. After the clinical and laboratory evaluation, the first imaging procedure to be done is a renal and bladder ultrasound, but afterwards, a main contribution comes from nuclear medicine. Through minimally invasive and sedation-free procedures, nuclear medicine allows the evaluation of the functional anatomy of the urinary tract, and the quantification of renal function and drainage. If pediatric dosage cards...

Incidence of subclinical and overt hypothyroidism in children treated with [131I]mIBG: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Hypothyroidism appears to occur frequently in children treated with [131I]mIBG, which should be monitored closely after the radionuclide treatment to start hormone replacement therapy as soon as needed. The duration, as well as the type of thyroid blockade, seem to influence the incidence of hypothyroidism; however, more data from prospective evaluations are needed.PMID:38319674 | DOI:10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03552-0 (Source: Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)
