Abstract:Radioactive iodine (radioiodine) therapy is a standard and effective therapeutic approach for high-risk differentiated thyroid carcinomas, based on the unique ability of the thyroid follicular cell to accumulate iodide through the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS). However, a recurrent limitation of radioiodine therapy is the development of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinomas, which are associated with a worse prognosis. Loss of radioiodine accumulation in thyroid carcinomas has been attribute… Show more
