Brief Summary
Blood will be drawn 1 month before and 2 month after regular radioactive iodine treatment. Monocytes will be isolated. The three main outcomes are whole blood counts, cytokine production upon in vitro stimulation of monocytes and in vitro ROS production by monocytes. These results are compared between patients treated in adjuvant setting and patients treated for persistent structural disease, and between pre- and post-treatment status.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Whole blood counts
Whole blood counts with leukocyte subtypes (neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes) are compared before and after radioactive iodine treatment
2 months
Cytokine production upon monocyte stimulation
Cytokine produciton (tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6, interleukin-8) will be compared before and after treatment with radioactive iodine
2 months
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by monocytes
In vitro ROS production by monocytes will be compared before and after treatment with radioactive iodine
2 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Monocyte transcriptome
2 months
Plasma proteome
2 months
Study Arms (2)
I/adjuvant
15 patients with thyroid carcinoma that are treated with radioacitive iodine in an adjuvant setting
II/structutral disease
15 patients with thyroid carcinoma that are treated with radioactive iodine with the indication of persistent structural disease
Interventions
Blood is drawn twice in all subjects. Once before treatment with radioacitve iodine and once after.
Eligibility Criteria
Thirty patients with non-medulary thyroid carcinoma
You may qualify if:
- Pathologically confirmed non-medullary thyroid cancer
- Undergoing radioactive iodine treatment in an adjuvant setting or for persistent structural disease
- Aged ≥ 18 years
You may not qualify if:
- Inflammatory or infectious comorbidities
- Using medication interfering with the immune system
- Pregnancy
- A self-reported alcohol consumption of \>21 units per week
- Other active malignancies, defined as malignancies not in complete remission for \<2 years
- Previous systemic anti-cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 3 years before study procedures

Biospecimen
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and monocytes will be isolated from whole blood. The monocytes will be stimulated in vitro. Supernatants will be stored.
