Abstract |
Fifty seven patients with differentiated thyroid
carcinoma were performed radioactive iodine- 131 whole
body scans after administration of diagnostic dose
(2∼10 mCi) and therapeutic dose (30∼150 mCi) within
three months. We evaluated the state of radioactive
iodine-131 uptakes in whole body scan to detect correct
metastasis of thyroid carcinoma. The results are as
follows: 1) In 20 of the 57 patients (35%), the
therapeutic scan showed the additional uptakes that
were not seen in the diagnostic scan. 2) In 9 (64.2%)
of the 14 patients who had been received the thyroid
ablation theraphy with I-131 previously, new additional
lesions were found in the therapeutic scan but only 11
(25%) of the 32 patients who had not been received the
thyroid ablation theraphy disclosed new uptake lesions
(p〈0.01). 3) The additional uptake lesions of
therapeutic scan were significantly more common in the
bony metastatic foci (65.7%) than other areas (p
〈0.01). In 11 (55%) of 20 patients, additional uptake
regions were anterior neck areas (thyroid bed or
regional lymph node). We conclude that diagnostic scan
with 2∼5 mCi I-131 is inadequate in evaluating
residual iodine avid tissues of patients with thyroid
carcinoma. Also post-theraphy I-131 whole body scan
would be important to evaluate the correct staging and
prognosis of thyroid carcinoma, and to follow-up
patients. |
