Differentiated thyroid cancer: Case report of false positive < sup > 131 < /sup > I uptake on whole body scintigraphy in a patient with bilateral femur osteonecrosis
CONCLUSION: Radioiodine WBS plays an important role in clinical decision making for the evaluation and the management of patients with DTC. Despite its high range of sensitivity and specificity, a variety of reports of false positive whole body scans has demonstrated a diversity of causes. Comprehension of the physiology of iodine uptake and of the pathophysiology of clinical entities which end up giving false positives scans, provides clinicians a useful tool in order to avoid diagnostic and therapeutic errors as far as DTC is concerned.PMID:37031423 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912556 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Targeted therapy with vemurafenib in BRAF(V600E)-mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer
CONCLUSIONS: This case and the review of current data confirm the benefit of BRAF inhibition in BRAF-mutated ATC, limited by acquired resistance to targeted therapy.PMID:36855200 | DOI:10.1186/s13044-023-00147-7 (Source: Cell Research)
