to Omit Radioiodine Treatment Safely in Patients With Low -Risk Papillary Thyroid Cancer With Seize of 11-20mm Clinical Trial
Official title:
Reducing Radioiodine Treatment in Low Risk Papillary Thyroid Cancer
To study if its is safe to reduce the amount of postoperative treatments in those patients, who have been operated on because of a low-risk intrathyroidal papillary thyroid cancer with diameter of 11-20mm, and in whom postoperative thyroglobulin levels are of low level.
The purpose of the study : to enroll about 50 patients operated on because of a low-risk intrathyroidal papillary thyroid cancer with diameter of 11-20mm, and in whom postoperative thyroglobulin levels are of low level. Methods: either to follow-up patients according to the study protocol without radioiodine treatment or to give a radioiodine treatment with a dose of 1.1 GBq according to the normal Finnish treatment protocol for papillary thyroid cancer to those patients who themselves preferred to have a normal postoperative treatment. ;
