New scan could Fine-Tune radiation for thyroid cancer patients
NCT ID NCT00673010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special radioactive substance called 124-Iodine to see how much radiation each thyroid cancer spot in the body receives. The goal was to help doctors decide the right dose of standard treatment (131-Iodine) and avoid giving unnecessary radiation to patients who won't benefit. Twenty adults with thyroid cancer that had spread took part. The approach is a way to gather information to improve future treatment planning.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult thyroid carcinoma patients who have had a total thyroidectomy, histology confirmed by an MSKCC attending pathologist, and radioiodine remnant ablation. * Adult thyroid carcinoma patients who have previously demonstrated radioiodine-avid metastases and are about to undergo Thyrogen-assisted dosimetry at MSKCC. * The patient and physician are planning to administer 131-I for therapy if persistent radioiodine-avid metastases are present. * Men and women of all races, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds are eligible. * All subjects must have measurable disease, documented within the previous six months by ultrasonography (US), MRI, or non-contrast CT scanning. Exclusion Criteria: * Thyroid cancer patients who do not have metastases. * Thyroid cancer patients who have not demonstrated that their metastases concentrate radioiodine. * Patients who are under therapy for other active cancers. * Anaplastic or Medullary thyroid carcinoma. * Age less than 18 years. * Patient who have received a therapeutic dose of radioiodine within the preceding nine months will not be eligible. * Patients who plan to withdraw from thyroid hormone prior to dosimetry. * Patients who are pregnant.
