Abstract:
Objective To analyze the influencing factors of radioiodine (131I) therapy in locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), and develop a predictive model to provide a reference for the prognosis of patients.
Methods The clinical data of 437 patients with locally advanced or metastatic DTC who underwent surgical resection and 131I therapy in our hospital from January 2016 to September 2023 were collected. According to the treatment effect, they were divided into valid group (n=269) and invalid group (n=168). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of 131I efficacy, draw nomogram and build efficacy prediction models.
Results The maximum diameter of the lesion0.76(0.50, 1.09) cm vs 1.89(1.50, 2.10) cm、sTg 3.46(0.72, 10.545) ng/mL vs 736.25(85.15, 4672.58) ng/mL、sTg/TSH 0.062(0.011, 0.189) vs 32.1(2.94, 212.1) and sTg/TgAb 0.308(0.023, 1.273) vs 104.16(57.37, 136.41) and sTg/TgAb 0.308(0.023, 1.273) vs 108.27(100.81, 128.86) were all lower than those in the invalid group (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the lesion, sTg, sTg/TSH and sTg/TgAb (OR=4.229, 95%CI: 1.161-15.400; OR=1.236, 95%CI: 1.125-1.358; OR=1.074, 95%CI: 1.015-1.137; OR=1.028, 95%CI:1.005-1.051) were factors influencing the efficacy of 131I in patients with locally advanced or metastatic DTC; the ROC curve AUC value is 0.884(95%CI: 0.820~0.960).
Conclusions This study constructed an efficacy prediction model based on the influencing factors of 131I efficacy in locally advanced or metastatic DTC, which has good predictive performance.
