Abstrakt: In some instances patients present with thyroid cancer that does not seem to fit the usual treatment guidelines as set forth in conventional texts. For example, there may be an unusual distribution of thyroid remnants or metastases or there sometimes are extensive metastases to the lung or other organs. In these cases knowledge about regional uptake of therapeutic iodine-131 (131I) is useful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
