Real-Time Prognosis for Metastatic Thyroid Carcinoma Based on 2-[18F]Fluoro-2-Deoxy-d-Glucose-Positron Emission Tomography Scanning

TL;DR: FDG-PET scanning is a simple, expensive, but powerful means to restage thyroid cancer patients who develop subsequent metastases, assigning them to groups that are either at low ( FDG negative) or high (FDG positive) risk of cancer-associated mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic scanning in patients with thyroid cancer.

TL;DR: FDG-PET scanning is incorporated into the routine follow-up of a cohort of thyroid cancer patients undergoing annual evaluations to identify high and low risk subsets and found the single strongest predictor of survival was the volume of FDG-avid disease.

[18F]-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-d-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography Localizes Residual Thyroid Cancer in Patients with Negative Diagnostic 131I Whole Body Scans and Elevated Serum Thyroglobulin Levels

TL;DR: FDG-PET is able to localize residual thyroid cancer lesions in patients who have negative diagnostic 131I whole body scans and elevated Tg levels, although it was not sensitive enough to detect minimal residual disease in cervical nodes.
