Few reports have examined the use of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) for ablation of postsurgical thyroid remnants after low-dose radioactive iodine (RI) therapy, compared with conventional thyroid hormone withdrawal. We investigated whether patient preparation using rhTSH was comparable to conventional thyroid hormone withdrawal with respect to efficacy of postsurgical remnant ablation in low-risk patients receiving a 30 mCi RI. In addition, we also evaluated the impact of rhTSH (rhTSH vs. conventional thyroid hormone withdrawal) on quality of life (QoL) of thyroid cancer patients undergoing RI ablation.
