Efficacy of radioiodine therapy in the treatment of elevated serum thyroglobulin in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and negative whole-body iodine scan

Abstract

We recommend that in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with elevated thyroglobulin and negative WBS, at least one course of radioiodine therapy should be undertaken and if reduction or normalization of serum thyroglobulin is not achieved, repeated courses of radioiodine therapy are not logical and other therapeutic methods should be applied.
