Analyzing Serum Level Changes in Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate, Dihydrotestosterone, Progesterone, and Prolactin after Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]
Introduction: Effective treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is total thyroidectomy which is followed by radioactive iodine therapy (RIT) to ablate pathologic thyroid remnants and treat metastatic tumors.
