Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer has been successfully used for more than 70 years. However, there is still plenty of controversy surrounding the use and doses of radioiodine. There is insufficient evidence to answer the questions. Recent American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines seem to favor low-dose RAI, based on recent clinical trials and meta-analyses. However, long-term follow-up data remains limited, and there are additional factors we should consider that might affect the efficacy of RAI therapy. Therefore, until sufficient data are available, it is necessary to remain cautious about determining RAI doses by considering multiple patient-specific variables.
放射性碘(RAI)治疗分化型甲状腺癌已成功应用70多年。然而,关于放射性碘的使用和剂量仍存在诸多争议。目前尚无足够证据回答这些问题。基于近期的临床试验和荟萃分析,美国甲状腺协会(ATA)最新指南似乎倾向于低剂量RAI。然而,长期随访数据仍然有限,我们还应考虑其他可能影响RAI治疗疗效的因素。因此,在获得足够数据之前,有必要谨慎考虑多个患者特异性变量来确定RAI剂量。
