abstract = "BACKGROUND-AIM Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most rapidly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the most frequent endocrinemalignancy, comprised of differentiated subtypes, specifically papillary and follicular thyroid cancer. Thyroidectomyis currently the preferred treatment for DTC. However, adjuvant therapy in the form of radioactive iodine (131I) is oftenadministered to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence and to facilitate future cancer surveillance. As 131I treatmentadditionally might upregulate oxidative stress regularly observed in thyroid cancer patients, the aim of our study wasto investigate the alterations in the levels of glutathione (GSH), superoxide anion (O2-), nitric oxide (NO) and activityof superoxide dismutase (SOD) in blood of DTC patients treated with 131I. METHODS All investigated parameters were determined with well-established spectrophotometric methods in blood samples ofthyroidectomized DTC patients obtained 0 (before), 3, 7 and 30 days after the 131I treatment. The treatment was orallyadministered once in the dose of 3.7 GBq. RESULTS Our results showed that, compared to the values before the therapy, SOD activity was significantly increased on the3th and 30th day after the 131I treatment alongwith the levels of GSH on 7th day. Other investigated oxidative stressindicators were unchanged. According to obtained data, in the blood of thyroidectomized DTC patients during the first30 days after the therapy, increased antioxidative capacity, reflected through upregulated SOD activity and GSH levels,might be sufficient to prevent the increase of O2- and NO and, in general, suppress the oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide a better insight into individual antioxidant parameters fluctuations, thus contribute to a betterunderstanding of the redox mechanisms critical for 131I treatment outcomes, since an increase in the oxidative stressin the early stages of therapy can affect later health concerns and may represent a potential risk factor for cancerprogression in DTC patients.",
