Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with radioiodine-refractory thyroid carcinoma (RRTC) who underwent radioactive 125I seed implantation combined with anlotinib from January 2019 to October 2024 at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. Data on tumor size changes before and after treatment, serological tests (including serum TG, TgAb, CTn, CEA, etc.), changes in patients' pain scores, and side effects were collected to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of this therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on RRTC patients who underwent radioactive 125I seed implantation combined with anlotinib from 2019 to 2024 at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, including 2 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), 4 cases of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and 2 cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).

Prior to the treatment, patients were informed about their condition, the expected efficacy, and the potential side effects and toxic effects of 125I seed implantation therapy combined with anlotinib. All patients accepted the treatment plan and signed an informed consent form. The preoperative evaluation process includes assessments of coagulation function, liver and kidney function, cardiopulmonary function, and local CT scans.

A collaborative effort between physicians and physicists was undertaken to establish a treatment regimen with a prescription dose ranging from 80 to 120 Gy. The CT-guided 125I seed implantation procedure was conducted according to the prescribed treatment regimen. On the day of completion of the 125I seed implantation procedure, all patients began treatment with anlotinib. Patients undergo 14 consecutive days of treatment followed by 7 days off, constituting one cycle. This cycle is repeated until progressive disease (PD) occurs or the patient shows intolerance to the treatment.

Subsequent evaluations were scheduled post-surgery, focusing on lesion dimensions, serum Tg levels, pain levels, and adverse reactions. Lesion size was determined using CT imaging. Each measurable lesion underwent an average measurement derived from a minimum of three readings, with all measurements conducted by the same individual to minimize measurement discrepancies.

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) \[1\] were used to assess treatment response. Use the Visual Analogue Scale to record patients' pain scores. Adverse reactions, including infection, bleeding, pneumothorax, bone marrow suppression, and seed displacement, were recorded. Adverse events were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 27.0.
