Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Study patients with histologically proven DTC were studied. All patients had
previously undergone total thyroidectomy and more than one session of postoperative
RI therapy.During follow-up after the last RI therapy session, all patients showed
increasing pathological Tg levels (Tg > 9-10 ng/ml) after TSH stimulation (TSH > 30
mU/l). However, neither tumor recurrence nor metastasis could be detected in any
patient by post-therapeutic [131I] scanning, neck US, or chest radiography.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with obvious cervical pathology or positive fine-needle aspiration cytology
(FNAC) were excluded from the study. The work was approved by our Institutional
Review Board and written informed consent was obtained from each patient.
