| Popis: | The treatment of metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma is currently at a crossroad. The stunning effect of imaging doses of RAI on subsequent treatment doses is being recognized. Alternatives to RAI imaging for diagnostic purposes are being tested; these include ultrasonography for local and cervical nodal remnants/recurrences, Sestamibi and other isotope scanning that do not require the discontinuation of TSH suppression, and the measurement of circulating thyroglobulin that is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of the detection and the treatment follow-up of metastatic carcinoma. |
