A Stepwise Approach Using Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio-Combined Thyroglobulin for Customization of [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET/CT Indication to Detect Persistent Disease in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Cancer

A Stepwise Approach Using Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio-Combined Thyroglobulin for Customization of [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET/CT Indication to Detect Persistent Disease in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Cancer

We investigated whether an indication for [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET/CT to detect FDG-avid persistent disease (PD) could be identified precisely using the extent of metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients. This retrospective stud...
