TL;DR: Comparing the effect of administered recombinant TSH with thyroid hormone withdrawal on the results of radioiodine whole body scanning (WBS) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels found recombinant human TSH administration is a safe and effective means of stimulatingRadioiodine uptake and serum Tg levels in patients undergoing evaluation for thyroid cancer persistence and recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of administration of recombinant human thyrotropin with withdrawal of thyroid hormone for radioactive iodine scanning in patients with thyroid carcinoma
Paul W. Ladenson,Lewis E. Braverman,Ernest L. Mazzaferri,Françoise Brucker-Davis,David S. Cooper,Jeffrey R. Garber,Fredric E. Wondisford,Terry F. Davies,Leslie J. DeGroot,Gilbert H.

TL;DR: Thyrotropin stimulates radioiodine uptake for scanning in patients with thyroid cancer, but the sensitivity of scanning after the administration of thyrotrop in is less than that after the withdrawal of thyroid hormone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Mortality Following Treatment for Adult Hyperthyroidism
Elaine Ron,Michele M. Doody,David V. Becker,A. Bertrand Brill,Rochelle E. Curtis,Marlene B. Goldman,Benjamin S. H. Harris,Daniel A. Hoffman,William M. McConahey,Harry R. Maxon,Susan Preston-Martin,M. Ellen Warshauer,F. Lennie Wong,John D. Boice +13 more
TL;DR: Overall, 131I appears to be a safe therapy for hyperthyroidism, and there was an elevated risk of thyroid cancer mortality following 131I treatment, but the excess number of deaths was small, and the underlying thyroid disease appeared to play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necrosis of follicular cells and discharge of thyroidal iodine induced by administering iodide to iodine-deficient dogs.
Bruce E. Belshaw,David V. Becker +1 more
TL;DR: Susceptibility to the cytotoxic effect of excess iodide appears to be related to certain kinetic characteristics of the iodine-deficient gland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Choice of Therapy for Graves' Hyperthyroidism
TL;DR: Surgery, antithyroid drugs, and radioiodine are all effective for the treatment of adult Graves' hypcrthyroidism but reports in the medical literature present widely varying and often conflicting results.
