Objective: Identifying prognostic markers for clinical outcomes is crucial in selecting appropriate treatment options for patients with radioiodine-refractory (RAI-R) differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of clinico-pathological features and semiquantitative [F]FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in DTC patients with RAI-R.

Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study included 110 consecutive RAI-R DTC patients who were referred for [F]FDG PET/CT imaging.

Modeling Clinical Radioiodine Uptake By Using Organoids Derived From Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

Endocrinology

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAI-R DTC), which is a major cause of thyroid-related deaths and has limited models for predicting iodine uptake.
  • Researchers created a primary tumor-derived organoid model from 20 DTC patients to assess and predict radioiodine uptake, comparing the organoids' properties to the original tumor tissue.
  • The results showed that RAI-avid organoids had significantly higher iodine uptake than RAI-R organoids, with a predictive accuracy of 95% for determining iodine-refractory cases, and highlighted the potential of using tyrosine kinase inhibitors to resensitize iodine uptake in certain patients.

Background: [F]FDG PET/CT has been widely used as a diagnostic tool in detection and localization of recurrent non-avid radioiodine lesions in post-operative differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients with elevated serum thyroglobulin but negative radioiodine whole-body scan (TENIS) syndrome. The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of [F]FDG PET/CT in prediction on outcomes of these DTC patients.

Methods: Post-operative DTC patients with TENIS syndrome were collected in the department of nuclear medicine, Hospital 108 from 2019 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • 124-iodine (I) is essential for PET diagnostics and therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), but detecting small lesions (<10 mm) poses significant challenges due to low iodine uptake.
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-time-of-flight (TOF) PET/MRI in identifying and quantifying small DTC lymph node lesions under difficult imaging conditions.
  • Results indicated that longer acquisition times, higher activity concentrations, and advanced reconstruction algorithms improved lesion visibility, with the smallest detectable size of 3.7 mm only visible under optimal settings.
