Clinical outcome after131I treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer with negative stimulated thyroglobulin and lymph node metastasis
Background and purpose: Negative pre-ablative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg) with negative
131
I scan indicates disease-free survival of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However
negative ps-Tg with lymph node metastasis detected by
131
I scan often shows in clinic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of postoperative DTC patients with lymph node metastasis and negative ps-Tg and its influencing factors. Methods: From May 2015 to Jan. 2018
130 DTC patients with lymph node metastasis who underwent
131
I treatment for the first time in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were followed up for 6-36 months. According to the clinical outcome
they were divided into 3 groups: excellent response (ER)
indeterminate response (IDR) and structural incomplete response (SIR). The gender
age
size of primary tumor
extraglandular infiltration
T stage
N stage
lymph node metastasis rate
recurrence risk stratification
ps-Tg and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) were compared among the three groups. Subgroup analysis of significant factors was further carried out. Results: There were significant differences in N stage (χ

P=0.024)
ps-Tg (H=9.579
P=0.008) and TgAb (H=11.632
P=0.003) among groups. There was no significant difference in gender (χ

P=0.513). 100% (14/14) reached ER in N0 group. 77.78% (14/18) reached ER
and 22.22% (4/18) reached IDR in N
1a
group. 63.26% (62/98) reached ER
18.37% (18/98) reached IDR
and 18.37% (18/98) reached SIR in N
1b
group. The median ps-Tg level in IDR group was 1.85 ng/mL
significantly higher than that in ER group (t=2.976
P=0.003) and SIR group (t=2.468
P=0.014). The median TgAb level in SIR group was 713.1 U/mL
significantly higher than that in ER group (40.42 U/mL
t=3.409
P=0.001) and IDR group (39.02 U/mL
t=2.381
P=0.017). Conclusion: N stage
ps-Tg and TgAb levels can be used as sensitive indicators for predicting clinical outcomes in DTC patients with negative ps-Tg and lymph node metastasis after the first
131
I treatment. The prognosis of patients with N
0
stage is better
and those with N
1b
low ps-Tg level but significantly elevated TgAb level are more likely to have poor treatment response.
