Observation on the efficacy of 131 iodine combined with surgical treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC)postoperative lymph node metas-tasis and clinical use and the effect of 131 I treatment.Methods to185 patients with lymph node metastasis of DTC were selected by random sampling method.The standard 131 I treatment was administrated,ultrasound,CT and Tg chan-ges and imaging characteristics of 131 I treatment were evaluated the clinical curative effect was determined.Results Imaging changesthe whole group of patients,153 patients (82.7%)were effective.153 patients with effective treat-ment,105 cases examined LMDTC completely eliminate (56.8%),48 cases examination revealed narrowing (25.9%).Mere lymph node metastasis after treatment was better than that of patients with viscera metastasis,imaging examination results were statistically significant differences (χ2 =2.57,P =0.02).After treatment,imaging examina-tion result in patients with smaller lymph node was superior to that in the patients with relatively large diameter lymph nodes (P >0.05).Tg level changesthere was a significant reduction in the Tg 97 cases of 185 patients (51.1%), and general decline in 54 patients (29.2%).Tg improvement effect of patients with mere lymphatic metastasis after treatment was better than other viscera metastasis in patients with statistically significant differences (χ2 =3.41,P =0.01).Lymph node Tg improved after treatment in patients with small diameter,which was better than that with other viscera metastasis patients with statistically significant differences(χ2 =6.34,P =0.02).Conclusion Comprehensive curative effect of 131 I treatment of lymph node metastasis postoperatively in patients with DTC is distinct,and is worth popularizing in clinical use of DTC.
