A prospective study compares [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-CTR-FAPI and [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging for evaluating patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer. The findings may enhance diagnostic approaches in this challenging patient population.
A recent study evaluates the effectiveness of radioiodine therapy in managing pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer, suggesting that a less aggressive approach may be beneficial. This research could influence treatment protocols for this rare cancer in children.
A study involving 10,504 patients examines long-term outcomes of locoregional recurrence after transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer. The findings contribute to understanding surgical impacts on recurrence rates in this patient population.
