Abstract
Introduction: There is 5% of DTCs lose the I-131 avidity and become to resistance with radioiodine therapy. The target therapy using the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib for treatment of advanced iodine- refractory DTC may be benefit for patients. 18F-FDG PET/CT could be initially use as metabolic modality in early assessment of treatment response.
Material and methods: Patients with refractory to radioactive iodine having indication of target therapy were underwent to whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT before and after the treatment of sorafenib 1,5 months. An analysis of the role of serum thyroglobulin (Tg), radiological (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) response was performed.
Results: A total of 7 patients were included in the pilot study. Clinical benefit was obtained in 57% of subjects with early partial metabolic response on PET/CT. The best responses were observed in lymph nodes and lung. The biological and radiological response to treatment were under estimated to metabolic response.
Conclusions: PET/CT allows to assess the treatment response earlier than other modalities. The further study should be performed to evaluate the prognosis and benefit of metabolic response.
