Excerpt

Radiotherapy with 131I is the most effective treatment of iodine-avid metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer. Early diagnosis of metastases and repeated treatment with high activities of 131I improve outcome and allow complete remission in a substantial percentage of metastatic patients [1, 2]. However, treatment efficacy is subordinated to the ability of cancer cells to concentrate 131I. In patients whose metastases show no initial 131I uptake, the 10-year survival can be as low as 10% [3]. Therefore, before 131I administration, it is necessary to achieve high serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in order to induce cancer cells to overexpress the sodium-iodide symporter, and thus enhance their iodine-trapping ability. …
