Impacto de la medicina nuclear en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer diferenciado de tiroides.

Los pacientes afectados por el cáncer diferenciado de tiroides habitualmente presentan un curso clínico favorable, ya que la piedra angular del tratamiento es la cirugía; a pesar de esto, algunos pueden desarrollar un ominoso desenlace, debido a las características clinico-patológicas de esta enfermedad. El tratamiento óptimo aún es controvertido, en especial respecto a la extensión de la cirugía, indicaciones de radioyodo y la supresión de la hormona estimulante de la tiroides. La correcta evaluación de los riesgos, antes y después de la cirugía, facilita un selectivo enfoque del tratamiento; destacando la relevancia de revisar el impacto de la medicina nuclear en la correcta evaluación, tratamiento y seguimiento de los pacientes que padecen esta neoplasia. Patients affected by differentiated thyroid cancer usually have a favorable clinical course, since the cornerstone of treatment is surgery; despite this, some patients may develop an ominous outcome, due to the clinical-pathological features of this disease. Optimal treatment remains controversial, especially regarding the extent of surgery, indications for radioiodine and thyroid-stimulating hormone. The correct evaluation of risks before and after surgery facilitates a selective treatment approach; highlighting the importance of reviewing the impact of nuclear medicine on the correct evaluation, treatment and follow-up of patients suffering from this neoplasm.
