Effect of previous administration of potassium iodine and different durations of low iodine diets for radioiodine therapy on the treatment of Graves' disease in iodine-rich areas
ConclusionsLID sufficiently reduced UIC in patients undergoing RAI. Although a lower UIC2 may increase 24hRU, it did not increase the success of RAI. The benefit of LID in enhancing the efficacy of RAI in GH treatment remains uncertain. (Source: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)

Current practice in intermediate risk differentiated thyroid cancer - a review
Rev Endocr Metab Disord. 2023 Nov 23. doi: 10.1007/s11154-023-09852-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough the overall prognosis for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is excellent, a subset of patients will experience disease recurrence or may not respond to standard treatments. In recent years, DTC management has become more personalized in order to enhance treatment efficacy and avoid unnecessary interventions.In this context, major guidelines recommend post-surgery staging to assess the risk of disease persistence, recurrence, and mortality. Consequently, risk stratification becomes pivotal in determining the neces...

Second Primary Malignancy After Radioiodine Therapy in Thyroid Cancer Patient: A Nationwide Study
CONCLUSION: Total cumulative doses of 100 mCi or less of RAI can be safely administered without concerns about second primary malignancy. However, the risk of second primary malignancy increases in a dose-dependent manner, and the risk-benefit needs to be considered for doses over 100 mCi of RAI therapy.PMID:37982105 | PMC:PMC10654320 | DOI:10.1007/s13139-023-00818-1 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

A long-term retrospective cohort-based risk-benefit analysis of augmenting total cumulative I-131 activity to 37GBq in differentiated thyroid cancer patients with skeletal metastases
The objective was to determine the maximum I-131 cumulative activity that could be safely administered without compromising efficacy. The secondary objective was to identify other prognostic factors affecting survival outcomes. Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study done at a tertiary-care institution comprising of data from January 1990-June 2020. 489 DTC patients having skeletal metastases with ≥12 months follow-up were included. Ninety-six percent of patients had thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine therapy for skeletal metastases. All patients were on oral suppressive levothyroxine tablets. Exter...
