Introduction: In the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels are often well correlated with whole-body radio-iodine scanning (WBS) results. However, occasionally a mismatched result, increased Tg with negative WBS, is encountered. High doses of radio-iodine (RAI) have been suggested as a therapeutic choice with controversial results. Our aim was to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of this approach.<p class="abstex...
