Abstract
Redifferentiation therapy with Dabrafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) and Trametinib (a MEK inhibitor) restores radioiodine avidity of radioiodine-refractory papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A 50-year-old man was diagnosed with radioiodine-refractory PTC pulmonary metastasis post prior total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation. The patient was treated with Dabrafenib and Trametinib, followed by second radioiodine ablation with I-131 sodium iodine. Diffuse increased radioiodine uptake by pulmonary metastasis was visualized on post ablation whole body scan. Response to second radioiodine ablation was demonstrated by decrease in size of pulmonary nodules seen on chest CT, along with decrease of thyroglobulin level.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
