Brief Summary

Distant metastases is the leading cause of differentiated thyroid cancer-related death. Radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment is the most effective therapy for RAI-avid metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). It is well known that the efficacy of RAI therapy is depend on the sodium-iodide symporter protein, which can be synthesized by elevated thyrotropin stimulation. Therefore, thyrotropin stimulation before RAI treatment to ensure sufficient uptake of RAI has been a long-established procedure. According to some observational studies, thyrotropin of 25-30 μIU/mL has been adopted as the standard care protocol. However, whether thyrotropin of 25-30 μIU/mL is enough to stimulate iodine uptake in metastatic lesions remains unknown. In this study, the investigators aim to address the effect of thyrotropin on iodine uptake in metastatic DTC during levothyroxine withdrawal by two times 124I PET/CT scans on different endogenous thyrotropin levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of thyrotropin level on iodine uptake in metastatic DTC lesions on twice 124I PET/CT.

    SUV metrics of RAI-avid metastatic DTC lesions on twice 124I PET/CT.

    1 month

Study Arms (1)

124I PET/CT

EXPERIMENTAL

All eligible patients will be allocated to this arm (single-arm study).

Diagnostic Test: 124I PET/CT

Interventions

124I PET/CTDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The first 124I PET/CT was prepared with endogenous thyrotropin 30±10 μIU/mL, and the second 124I PET/CT was prepared with endogenous thyrotropin \>100 μIU/mL. The RAI-avidity of the metastases was assessed twice along with the levothyroxine withdrawal by 124I PET/CT scans.
