Abstract要旨 症例は甲状腺乳頭癌全摘術後の28歳女性で, 多発性肺転移巣が出現したため, 131Iによる治療目的にて当院放射線科を受診した. 131Iによる残存甲状腺のablationを施行後, トレーサ量による131I全身スキャンを行ったが, 肺転移巣に131Iの摂取を認めなかった. T4よりT3に変更して, 血中TSH0.1μU/ml以下になるよう抑制療法を続けたところ, T3服用開始後2か月で多発性肺転移巣は縮小傾向を示し, 8か月後では著明な肺転移巣縮小を認めた. 胸部X線上の縮小率は, 33-76%であった. CT上, 各転移巣で縮小率にバラツキがみられたが, 肺転移巣縮小は明らかであった. CT上新たな転移巣を示した病巣は認めなかった. 血中サイログロブリン値は80より25ng/mlに下降した. T3服用開始後4年6か月経過した現在, 病巣の進展を見ない. 分化型甲状腺癌に対するT3によるTSH抑制療法は予後を改善するかもしれない.

AbstractA 28-year-old woman was referred to us to undergo 131I therapy who had multiple pulmonary metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma after total thyroidectomy. There was no increased accumulation of a tracer in the pulmonary metastatic foci on whole-body scanning using a 111 MBq diagnostic dose of 131I. However, the pulmonary metastases were gradually decreased in size, and then clearly reduced 8 months after the start of TSH suppression therapy, which was maintained by T3 instead of T4 to bring down the serum TSH level below 0.1μU/ml. Reduction rates of the foci were 33-76% on chest X-ray. The reduction was confirmed and no new lesions were found on the serial CT scans. Serum thyroglobulin level was lowered 80 to 25 ng/ml by this suppression therapy and progression of disease was not observed under a 54 months' T3 treatment. Thus, TSH suppression therapy might improve survival of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.
