In patients with poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC), a different entity from PTC, treatment is generally similarly initiated with total thyroidectomy and subsequent radioiodine therapy, potentially repeated if the tumour tissue retains the ability to concentrate iodine. The overall outcome of ...
