Review article PET in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer N KHAN, MD , N ORIUCHI, MD , T HIGUCHI, MD , H ZHANG, DMSc and K ENDO, MD Department of Nuclear Medicine & Diagnostic Radiology, Gunma University, Faculty of Medicine, 3-39-22 Showamachi, Maebashi City, Gunma 371-8511, Japan Abstract. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET has become an increasingly important functional imaging modality in clinical oncology. This article will focus primarily on the role of FDG PET during treatment and follow-up of thyroid cancer . The major role of FDG PET is in patients with elevated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels where thyroid cancer tissue does not concentrate radioiodine rendering false-negative results on I-131 scanning. FDG PET imaging takes advantage of the increased uptake of FDG in cancer cells ...

Outcome of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer with Detectable Serum Tg and Negative Diagnostic 131 I Whole Body Scan: Comparison of Patients Treated with High 131 I Activities Versus Untreated Patients F. PACINI, L. AGATE, R. ELISEI, M. CAPEZZONE, C. CECCARELLI, F. LIPPI, E. MOLINARO, AND A. PINCHERA Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Section of Endocrinology, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy Detectable serum Tg levels associated with negative diagnos- tic 131 I whole body scan are not infrequently found in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer . Several researchers have shown that in these patients the administration of high 131 I activity (100 mCi or more) increases the sensitivity of a post- therapy diagnostic 131 I whole body scan performed ...
