Does level VI lymph node dissection decrease radioiodine uptake in patients undergoing radioiodine ablation for differentiated thyroid cancer?
There is no evidence that uptake of (131)I is reduced by performance of a central neck dissection in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Preablation thyroglobulin levels were not altered by level VI lymph node dissection.
