Abstract
Aggressive histopathologic subtypes of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid tumors and are at high risk for persistent/recurrent disease. In these patients, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is performed in cases of suspicion of recurrence based on thyroglobulin (Tg) levels or thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb). The goals of this study were to evaluate the sensitivity of systematic postoperative FDG-PET/CT and to identify risk factors for abnormal FDG-PET/CT.
