Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma After ¹³¹ I-MIBG Treatment for Neuroblastoma During Childhood: Description of the First Two Cases

Abstract

Both these cases of DTC after (131)I-MIBG for childhood NBL underline the importance of adequate thyroid protection against radiation exposure during treatment for NBL. Children who have been treated with (131)I-MIBG should be given life-long follow-up, not only with regard to thyroid function, but also with surveillance for the development of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer.
