[The efficacy of radio-iodine-therapy in patients with differentiated form cancer of thyroid gland in various after thyroidectomy].

Results of treatment of 376 patients, ageing 18-76 yrs, were analyzed to investigate the radioiodine therapy (RITH) efficacy for the thyroid differentiated cancer depending on the term of its conduction after the operation. In patients with the thyroid gland residual tissue (THGRT) only the first course of RITH efficacy was 82.6-96.

[Analysis of efficacy of complex treatment of patients with differentiated forms of the thyroid gland cancer using distant radiation therapy].

Retrospective analysis of efficacy of complex treatment, including surgical intervention, radioiodine therapy (RITH), suppressive hormonotherapy of differentiated forms of the thyroid gland cancer (DFTHGC) was done in 281 patients with positive effect of postoperative distant radiation therapy (PDRTH) application as a component of the treatment. Positive effect of therapy was estimated basing on the dynamic scintigraphy data with 131I and determination of thyroglobulin level in blood serum. The PDRTH conduction does not improve prognosis of the disease, does not lower the tumor metastasizing frequency to regional lymph nodes and remote organs and does not replace RITH.

[Treatment and monitoring of patients with differentiated cancer of thyroid gland].

There were examined 200 patients aged from 19 to 77 years with differentiated cancer of the thyroid gland (TG). The combined treatment, which included performance of operation, radioiodine therapy and hormonotherapy, was conducted to all the patients. Total and maximum subtotal TG resection was performed in 90% patients, nonradical operation--in 10%, 23% patients were reoperated.

[The importance of radionuclide tests in postop monitoring of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer].

The results of postoperative dynamic examination of 270 patients with differentiated cancer (DC) of thyroid gland (TG) using radionuclide method were analysed. In 74.7% of patients the residual TG tissue was revealed, in 21.

[Importance of scintigraphy in the evaluation of surgical treatment outcome in differentiated cancer of the thyroid gland].

Experience of radionuclide investigation in 493 patients with differentiated cancer of thyroid gland is summarized. The consequences due to incorrect conducting of patients with cancer after the operation were adduced on distinct examples. The program for conducting and observation of patients with thyroid gland cancer after the operation conduction was proposed directed on the early diagnosis of recurrencies and metastases, determination of indications for radioiodine therapy.
