Determinants of successful ablation and complete remission after total thyroidectomy and I-131 therapy of paediatric differentiated thyroid cancer

摘要

Purpose In adult differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients, successful ablation and the number of I-131 therapies needed carry a prognostic significance. The goal was to assess the prognosis of DTC in children and adolescents treated in our centre in relation to the number of treatments needed and to establish the determinants of both complete remission (CR) and successful ablation.
