Guidelines for the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Iodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer(2023 edition)

Abstract

To further standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) in China, it is urgent to establish clinical diagnosis and treatment management guidelines based on evidence-based medical data to scientifically guide the diagnosis and treatment of RAIR-DTC. By referring to the World Health Organization Guidelines Development Manual andfollowing the protocol of devising evidence-based guidelines, we have registered and written the prospectus of Guidelines for the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Iodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer. We will also develop and release official guidance documents. This guidelines prospectus mainly introduces the significance, purpose, target population, user population, guidelines formulation team members, collection and determination of clinical issues and outcome indicators, acquisition, evaluation, and synthesis of evidence, as well as generation of recommendations and other guidelines formulation methods and processes of the Guidelines for the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Iodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
