Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Failure of conventional radioiodine therapy of metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer could be explained by: * a suboptimal therapeutic approach, based on the administration of empirically fixed amount of radioactivity * the presence of lesions with impaired iodine uptake, due to the expression of specific mutations The study aims to: * optimize therapy with pre-treatment 124-I blood and lesion dosimetry * collect genetic data to check if specific mutations and/or miRNA over-expression could be related to low iodine uptake or to radioresistance

- description
- Patients with ascertained metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer will be studied with FDG PET, CT, and for genetic characterization. 100 MBq of 124-I are administered for blood and PET lesion dosimetry. According Jentzen et al, good efficacy (Tumour Control Probability \> 80%) is obtained with absorbed dose higher than 80 Gy to soft tissue metastases, and \> 650 Gy to bone metastases. These values ae pursued with the limit of 2 Gy to blood. Only soft tissue lesions will be considered as target for the calculation of the complete response rate. However, for ethical reasons, therapeutic activity will be chosen in order to be effective both on soft tissue and bone lesions. Patients with too low predicted lesion absorbed dose even administering the Maximum Tolerable Activity (2 Gy to blood) will exit the protocol to receive the standard of care.
