Follow-Up of Low-Risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Patients Who Underwent Radioiodine Ablation of Postsurgical Thyroid Remnants after Either Recombinant Human Thyrotropin or Thyroid Hormone Withdrawal

Abstract

In conclusion, after a median 3.7 yr, low-risk thyroid cancer patients prepared for postoperative remnant ablation either with rhTSH or after L-T4 withdrawal were confirmed to have had their thyroid remnants ablated and to have comparable rates of tumor recurrence and persistence.
