Radiation-induced tumors of the head and neck following childhood irradiation. Prospective studies.
Arthur B. Schneider,Eileen Shore-Freedman,U.Y. Ryo,Carlos Bekerman,Murray J. Favus,S. Pinsky +5 more
TL;DR: Recommendations for screening, treatment, and follow-up of subjects who received childhood radiation for benign conditions of the cervical area and programs elsewhere stress the importance of estimating risk based on radiation dose, previous tumors, and serum thyroglobulin, in arriving at clinical decisions for these subjects.

Plasma Thyroglobulin in Detecting Thyroid Carcinoma after Childhood Head and Neck Irradiation
Arthur B. Schneider,Murray J. Favus,Max E. Stachura,J. E. Arnold,U.Y. Ryo,S. Pinsky,M. Colman,Margaret J. Arnold,Lawrence A. Frohman +8 more
TL;DR: In screening large numbers of persons at risk for thyroid neoplasia, thyroglobulin assays are useful in combination with other modes of evaluation and the assay is without value in distinguishing benign from malignant disease.

Recurrence of Thyroid Nodules after Surgical Removal in Patients Irradiated in Childhood for Benign Conditions
Leon Fogelfeld,Margaret B.T. Wiviott,Eileen Shore-Freedman,Michael J. Blend,Carlos Bekerman,S. Pinsky,Arthur B. Schneider +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that radiation-associated benign thyroid nodules have a high recurrence rate, similar to that reported among nonirradiated patients with benign thyroid nodsules, and that treatment with thyroid hormone decreases the risk of benign recurrences, particularly in women, but not therisk of cancer.

Characteristics of 108 thyroid cancers detected by screening in a population with a history of head and neck irradiation
TL;DR: The postoperative thyroglobulin levels in subjects with thyroid cancer were proportional to the amount of thyroid tissue remaining, and follow‐up evaluation of the entire group did not disclose any differences in the behavior of these thyroid cancers compared to those not associated with radiation.

Thyroid imaging agents: a comparison of I-123 and Tc-99m pertechnetate.
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that neither Tc-99m nor I-123 is always superior to the other as a thyroid imaging agent.
