    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study shows that radioactive iodine therapy after thyroidectomy is effective for treating well-differentiated thyroid cancer in young patients. All patients remained cancer-free with no serious complications observed during long-term follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) is rare in children and adolescents.
    • Treatment strategies for pediatric WDTC require careful consideration due to long-term outcomes and potential side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in young patients with WDTC.
    • To compare outcomes in pediatric patients with a cohort of young adult patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Nine pediatric patients (aged 9-20 years) with WDTC underwent thyroidectomy and RAI therapy.
    • RAI doses varied based on metastatic status (10-50 mCi for no metastases, 50-100 mCi for regional/distant metastases).
    • A comparison group of 16 adult patients (aged 21-30 years) was included.

    Main Results:

    • All patients, both pediatric and adult, remained alive and disease-free during 1-16 years of follow-up.
    • No recurrences or metastases were observed in either group.
    • No significant complications were reported, except for one patient with local complaints after neck dissection and external irradiation.

    Conclusions:

    • RAI therapy following thyroidectomy is a safe and highly effective treatment for well-differentiated thyroid cancer in pediatric and young adult patients.
    • Long-term follow-up confirms sustained remission and minimal adverse effects, supporting its use in this age group.
