Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patient voluntarily joined this study and signed an informed consent form; 2. Age: ≥ 14 years old,\<80 years old, male or female not limited; 3. Histopathological diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer; 4. Surgical total or near total thyroidectomy; 5. The surgery did not achieve R0 resection, and R1/ R2 resection was performed. The volume of residual tumor in R2 resected patients is less than 2cm3; 6. The main organ functions are normal; 7. Good compliance and cooperation with follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previously received radiation therapy for the head and neck area; 2. Differentiated thyroid cancer with poorly differentiated, or undifferentiated components; 3. There is distant metastasis; 4. Previously received 131I treatment; 5. Previously received or currently receiving targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy; 6. Within 5 years or simultaneously suffering from other active malignant tumors.

Pregnant or lactating women; 8. Other physical illnesses that affect patients' ability to receive standard treatment; 9. According to the researchers' assessment, there may be other factors that could force the subjects to terminate the study, such as suffering from other serious illnesses (including mental illnesses) that require concurrent treatment, severe abnormal laboratory test values, family or social factors that may affect the safety of the subjects or the collection of experimental data; 10. Individuals with claustrophobia who are unable to undergo radiation therapy; 11. Patients deemed unsuitable for inclusion by other attending physicians.
