Objectives Follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) is treated similarly to classical variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (cPTC). However, FVPTC has unique tumour features and behaviours. We investigated whether a low dose of radioiodine was as effective as a high dose for remnant ablation in patients with FVPTC and evaluated the recurrence of low-intermediate risk FVPTC. Methods Data from cPTC and FVPTC patients treated with I-131 from 2004 to 2014 were reviewed. Demographics, tumour behaviour, lymph node metastasis, and local recurrence data were compared between FVPTC and cPTC patients. Then, low-intermediate risk FVPTC patients were divided into low, intermediate, and high I-131 dose groups, and postoperative I-131 activities were analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of I-131 therapy for thyroid remnant ablation. Results In total, 799 cases of FVPTC (n = 168) and cPTC (n = 631) treated with I-131 were identified. Patients with FVPTC had a larger primary nodule size than cPTC, but lymph node metastases and local recurrence were more prevalent in cPTC than in FVPTC. For the low-, intermediate-, and high-dose groups, success rates of ablation did not differ (82.0%, 80%, and 81.3%, respectively). Conclusion FVPTC differs from cPTC in behaviour. Low-dose ablation may be sufficient in FVPTC patients with low-intermediate disease risk.

Abstract Background: For some intermediate risk papillary thyroid carcinoma patients, if there are structural metastases, reoperation is preferred. If there are functional metastases (131I avidity), they can be treated with high-dose radioactive iodine (131I). However, it is still controversial whether 131I ablation should be used and the determination of 131I dosage for another part of intermediate risk patients with non-structural or functional metastases, especially those with postoperative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg) 1-20 ng/ml. The aim of the present study is mainly to compare the 3-years disease-free survival between low-dose group (1.1 GBq) and high-dose group (3.7 GBq) in intermediate risk papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with non-structural or functional metastases and ps-Tg 1-20 ng/ml.Methods: A single-center, randomized, double-blind parallel controlled study is designed at the Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University. Participants will be randomized to low-dose group (1.1 GBq) or high-dose group (3.7 GBq) in a 1:1 ratio. After orally receiving different dosage of 131I once on an empty stomach, all patients will return to our hospital every 3-12 months to be performed related inspection items. Discussion: We believe that the 3-year disease-free survival of low-dose group (1.1 GBq) may not be lower than that of high-dose group (3.7 GBq) in intermediate-risk thyroid papillary carcinoma patients with no structural or functional metastases and ps-Tg 1-20 ng/ml. Besides we expect to clarify whether there are apparent differences in successful remnant ablation, efficacy, progression-free survival, safety, and health economics evaluation between the two groups.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (https://clinicaltrials.gov/), ID: NCT04354324.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common primary thyroid cancer. Most frequently treated with surgical resection, some cases require radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. Studies have suggested that there is an increase in second primary malignancy after RAI therapy amongst thyroid cancer survivors including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as an infrequent cancer related to RAI therapy; it has a higher relative risk ratio in patients on higher doses of radiation exposure. We would like to report a 30-year-old lady who was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma. She underwent total thyroidectomy and received a low-dose RAI 131I therapy at a dose of 150 mCi, after which she developed therapy-related AML. Here we would like to highlight the association of AML with low-dose RAI as an infrequent cause of a second primary tumor compared to high doses.

Fragestellung: Die Bedeutung von Lymphknotenbefall bei papillärem Schilddrüsenkarzinom und die optimale Lymphknotenchirurgie werden kontrovers beurteilt. Methodik: Retrospektive Langzeitstudie eines Operateurs (n = 159), prospektive Dokumentation, Nachkontrolle 1-27 (x = 8) Jahre, Untersuchung mit Bezug auf Lymphknotenbefall. Resultate: Staging. Bei 42 Patienten wurde wegen makroskopischem Lymphknotenbefall (cN1) eine therapeutische Lymphadenektomie durchgeführt, mit pN1 Status bei 41 (98%) Patienten. Unter 117 Patienten ohne Anhalt für Lymphknotenbefall (cN0) fand sich okkulter Befall bei 5/29 (17%) Patienten mit elektiver (prophylaktischer) Lymphadenektomie, und bei 2/88 (2.3%) Patienten ohne Lymphadenektomie (metachroner Befall) (p < 0.005). Lymphknotenrezidive traten (1-5 Jahre nach kurativer Primärtherapie) bei 5/42 (12%) pN1 und bei 3/114 (2.6%) cN0, pN0 Tumoren auf (p = 0009). Das 20-Jahres-Überleben war bei TNM I + II (low risk) Patienten 100%, d.h. unabhängig vom N Status; pN1 vs. pN0, cN0 beeinflusste das Überleben ungünstig bei high risk (>= 45-jährige) Patienten (50% vs. 86%; p = 0.03). Diskussion: Der makroskopische intraoperative Lymphknotenbefund (cN) hat Bedeutung: - Befall ist meistens richtig positiv (pN1) und erfordert eine ausreichend radikale, d.h. systematische, kompartiment-orientierte Lymphadenektomie (Mikrodissektion) zur Verhütung von - kurablem oder gefährlichem - Rezidiv. - Okkulter Befall bei unauffälligen Lymphknoten führt selten zum klinischen Rezidiv und beeinflusst das Überleben nicht. Wir empfehlen eine weniger radikale (sampling), nur zentrale prophylaktische Lymphadenektomie, ohne Risiko von chirurgischer Morbidität. Ein empfindlicherer Nachweis von okkultem Befund (Immunhistochemie, Schnellschnitt von sampling Gewebe oder sentinel nodes) erscheint nicht rational. Bei pN0, cN0 Befund kommen Verzicht auf 131I Prophylaxe und eine weniger intensive Nachsorge in Frage.
