To optimise isotope uptake, RAI should be given after thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation, which can be achieved by withdrawing levothyroxine for 4–5 weeks, ideally until serum TSH levels reach ≥30 µIU/ml. Alternatively, recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) can be given (two daily injections of 0.9 mg of rhTSH followed by RAI on day 3 ...
In the past, the usual treatment for thyroid cancer after thyroid surgery was to achieve TSH suppression with a low TSH. However, current American Thyroid Association guidelines for the management of thyroid cancer recommend a TSH target in the low normal range for most low risk thyroid cancers.

22 lip 2024 · Cai et al. demonstrated that serum levels of TSH and free T4 were significantly decreased in cortisol-producing adenomas (CPAs) as compared to healthy controls and asymptomatic adrenal incidentalomas. This study also revealed a negative association of cortisol, TSH, and T4 serum levels with CPAs.
Doctors have learned that by giving higher than normal doses of thyroid hormone, TSH levels can be kept very low. (This is known as thyroid hormone suppression therapy.) This may slow the growth of any remaining thyroid cancer cells and lower the chance of some thyroid cancers (especially high-risk cancers) coming back.
1 kwi 2012 · Treatment with l -thyroxine (LT4), which reduces serum TSH, is associated with significantly lower risk of developing clinically detectable thyroid cancer. Conclusions: TSH plays a key role in the development of clinically detectable thyroid cancer, and LT4 treatment reduces the risk of thyroid malignancy in patients with nodular thyroid disease.
Thyroid cancer treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and observation. Get detailed information about the treatment options for newly diagnosed and recurrent thyroid cancer in this summary for clinicians.
