Starting from the metabolic profile of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we hypothesized that the mechanisms of ¹³¹I-induced cardiotoxicity differ between patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with/without T2DM, with metformin potentially acting as a cardioprotective agent by mitigating inflammation in patients with T2DM. To address this hypothesis, we quantified, using ELISA, the serum concentration of several key biomarkers that reflect cardiac injury (NT-proBNP, NT-proANP, ST2/IL-33R, and cTn I) in 74 female patients with DTC/-T2DM and 25 with DTC/+T2DM treated with metformin. All patients received a cumulative oral dose of I exceeding 150 mCi (5.

The absence of anatomical landmarks in the whole body scan makes it challenging to precisely localize 131I uptake, which is used to treat patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Recently, SPECT/CT studies have been utilized to increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.

In China, due to the risks of hypothyroidism after radioiodine treatment, radioiodine is not commonly used as a first-line treatment. In this study, factors influencing the development of hypothyroidism after I therapy for Graves' hyperthyroidism were evaluated. This was a retrospective study with a 12-month follow-up.

Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a recommended locoregional strategy for intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), whereas, the effect is insufficient to reverse the immunosuppression tumor microenvironment, and the overall benefits for patients remain to be improved. In this study, a multifunctional microsphere (MS) I-ICT/R848-MS is developed to propose an approach combined with TARE, icaritin (ICT) and immune modulator resiquimod (R848). ICT and iodine-131 (I) radiation can induce immunogenic cell death, which, in combination with R848, will boost dendritic cell (DC) maturation.
