Radioiodine Treatment of Metastatic Thyroid Cancer: Relative Efficacy and Side Effect Profile of Preparation by Thyroid Hormone Withdrawal Versus Recombinant Human Thyrotropin

BACKGROUND: To effectively treat differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with radioiodine (RAI) it is necessary to raise serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels either endogenously by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) or exogenously by administration of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH).
