Thyroid remnant ablation using 1,110 MBq of I-131 after total thyroidectomy: regulatory considerations on release of patients after unsealed radioiodine therapy

Abstract: Outpatient-based remnant thyroid ablation with I-131 (1,110 MBq) performed after total thyroidectomy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer is safe if applied in accordance with the appropriate supervision and guidance by experts with certain qualifications.

“…[ 12 ] Outpatient-based remnant thyroid ablation with I-131 (1,110 MBq) performed in patients with DTC could be a safe alternative if applied under experts' appropriate supervision and guidance. [ 9 10 ] Despite poor compliance with safety guidelines, a short-stay protocol respects current legislation and applies to most patients treated with 3.7 GBq. [ 19 ] Higher body weight and distant metastases may predict higher radiation exposure from patients after RAI therapy.…”

“…Based on the safety report of IAEA 8) wherein some national maximum activity levels for release of patients (e.g., for 131 I, 89 Sr, and 90 Y) were compared across countries and on an additional fundamental study, 9) the radiation safety guidelines and noti cation from the MHLW were established for outpatient-based remnant thyroid ablation with 131 I performed after total thyroidectomy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. The national maximum activity remaining in the patient at the time of discharge from a hospital was set as 1.1 GBq in accordance with appropriate supervision and guidance from quali ed experts.…”

“…За сучасними протоколами, радіойод-терапію (РЙТ, абляційну та/або ад'ювантну) показано для пацієнтів із ДРЩЗ високого ризику (pT3-pT4, будь-який N1, будь-який M1). У пацієнтів низького ризику (pT1b-pT2N0M0), а також для хворих із мікрокарциномами (карциноми з дуже низьким ризиком) радіойод-абляцію (РЙА) не проводять [1,4,11,12]. У проспективних клінічних дослідженнях позитивні наслідки РЙТ продемонстровано лише в групі пацієнтів із високим ризиком рецидиву ДРЩЗ, тоді як у пацієнтів із дуже низьким ризиком позитивний ефект РЙТ щодо ймовірності виникнення рецидиву, а також щодо показників загального виживання пацієнтів не підтверджено: у таких пацієнтів і без проведення процедури абляції показники безрецидивного виживання наближено до 100% [13,14].…”
