ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the response to 131I therapy and to explore the influence factors in postoperative differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with negative preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (psTg) and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation.Methods From May 2016 to October 2018,108 DTC patients (28 males,80 females,age:(45.7±10.4) years) with negative psTg who underwent 131I treatment for the first time in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were retrospectively enrolled.All patients had iodine-positive lymph nodes,which were showed by SPECT/CT imaging 5-6 d after 131I treatment.The treatment response was evaluated at 6-24 month after 131I treatment.Patients were divided into excellent response (ER) group and non-excellent response (non-ER) group according to the response to the first 131I treatment.Independent-sample t test,x2 test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze differences of factors (e.g.age,gender,extraglandular infiltration) between the 2 groups,and then multivariate logistic regression was performed to find the influence factors for treatment response.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to evaluate the predictive value of the iodine-positive lymph node size in 131I treatment response.Results A total of 82 patients (75.93%,82/108) achieved ER,and 26 (24.07%,26/108) was non-ER patients.There were significant differences in age (t=-2.540,P=0.016),extraglandular infiltration (x2 =5.764,P=0.016),T stage (x2=19.857,P<0.001),N stage (x2 =14.145,P =0.001),risk stratification of recurrence (x2 =11.487,P=0.003),ultrasound results before 131I treatment (x2 =44.819,P<0.001),dose of the first 131 I treatment (U =780.0,P =0.018),size (long diameter) of iodine-positive lymph node (U=184.0,P<0.001),and psTg level (U=776.0,P=0.037) between ER and non-ER groups.Multivariate logistic regression showed that age,size of iodine-positive lymph node and ultrasound results before 131I treatment were closely related to 131I treatment response.The odds ratio (OR) values (95% CI) were 1.123 (1.025-1.231),4.275 (1.893-9.653) and 260.86 (8.123-8376.764),respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value for non-ER were 100% (26/26),70.73% (58/82),77.78% (84/108),52.00% (26/50) and 100% (58/58) respectively when the cut-off value of iodine-positive lymph node size was 5.5 mm.Conclusion The response of some DTC patients with negative psTg and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation were non-ER.Age,ultrasound results before 131I treatment and size of iodine-positive lymph node are sensitive indicators for predicting clinical outcome in DTC patients with negative psTg and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation.
