| مستخلص: | A 79-year-old man with locally metastatic papillary thyroid cancer to left-sided cervical lymph nodes was referred for radioiodine therapy. He was considered unfit for thyroidectomy due to extensive local involvement and severe interstitial lung disease requiring continuous oxygen. The patient was treated with low doses of radioiodine (approximately 30 mCi) every 6 months with corticosteroid cover for 3 years with good effect. Sequential 131I scanning and serum thyroglobulin levels confirmed virtual complete ablation of the thyroid gland. The patient remained well on thyroid hormone replacement. |
