Radioactive iodine therapy strategies for distinct types of differentiated thyroid cancer: a propensity score–matched analysis

ABSTRACT:

Background

The management guidelines of radioactive Iodine (RAI) therapy for distinct types of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) were the same in clinical practice. However, in distinct types DTC, differences in RAI avidity and response existed and the effect of RAI therapy could not be equated.

Methods

DTC patients’ data in SEER database were extracted to perform retrospective analysis. The differences between case group and control group were compared by chi-square tests. We used Kaplan-Meier statistics and Cox regression analyses to investigate cancer-specific survival (CSS). Propensity score–matched was performed to make 1:1 case-control matching.

Results

105195 patients who receiving total thyroidectomy were identified in SEER database. Compared to papi
