First Annual UT Southwestern Multidisciplinary Endocrine Tumor Symposium: "Radioactive Iodine for Thyroid Cancer: Guidelines, Contraversies, and Practical Lessons" (RP2106C)

June 4, 2021

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This live virtual CME activity is designed for physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals in the specialties of endocrinology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology. Didactic presentations will provide a comprehensive review of current guidelines regarding the use of radioactive iodine (RAI) for thyroid cancer. Case presentations will provide practical lessons in applying the current guidelines.

Target Audience

This CME activity is intended for providers in the specialties of: Endocrinology, Oncology (Medical), Otolaryngology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, and Surgery - Oncology.

Learning Objectives

Educational Need: 

Evaluate current and evolving guidelines for the use of RAI and determine how RAI could be applied (or should not be applied) in specific patient treatment modalities, in light of: 1!)2015 ATA guidelines on RAI in differentiated thyroid cancer (specifically using risk stratification and postoperative disease to guide RAI dosing); 2) Martinique principles for RAI treatment (remnant ablation, adjuvant therapy, treatment of known disease); 3) Thyrogen stimulation versus thyroid hormone withdrawal stimulation for RAI; 4) Optimal preparation with low iodine diet and counseling on radiation safety for outpatient treatment; 5) Utility of pre-treatment scanning with low dose I131 versus I123; and 6) Use of dosimetry to guide RAI dosing.

Learning objective: 

Identify and interpret current and evolving RAI guidelines and best practices, including: patient preparation, radiation safety, dosimetry, optimal scanning technique.

Desired Result: 

Expand application of RAI for individual patient management by healthcare team to ensure data driven, standard of care is being administered to promote best patient outcomes.
