Résumé

Introduction The treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer includes generally a total thyroidectomy, followed by a radioiodine (131I)-therapy. Due to their ability to concentrate iodine, the salivary glands may present inflammation after administration of 131I, which may be symptomatic, may lead to longer-term chronic abnormalities, resulting in alterations in patients’ nutrition and quality of life. The incidence of salivary dysfunctions after 131I-therapy varies considerably between studies due to methodological limitations. Also, the occurrence of these dysfunctions may be linked to increased uptake and/or retention of 131I in the salivary glands and/or individual radiosensitivity. However, no clinical or genetic factors have been identified to date to define patients at risk, allowing the delivered activity to be adapted to the expected risk of salivary dysfunctions. The aims of this study are 1) to estimate the incidence of salivary dysfunctions after 131I-therapy, 2) to investigate the risk of salivary dysfunctions in relation to 131I dosimeter recorded doses. Methods This prospective study included 139 patients, candidates for a 131I-therapy in the context of their differentiated thyroid cancer, treated in the Nuclear Medicine department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital (45 and 94 patients in 1.1GBq and a 3.7GBq dose groups respectively) treated between September, 2020 and June, 2021. External thermoluminescent dosimeters were placed opposite the salivary glands and at the sternal fork immediately before radioiodine administration and removed 5 days after. The dose precisely received at the salivary glands was established from dosimeter records, physical and computational phantoms The follow-up is based on 2 scheduled visits: at inclusion (T0, immediately before 131I-therapy) and 6 months after (T6). For each visit, questionnaires about salivary disorders (validated French tool) is administered, and individual measurements of the salivary flow (without and with salivary glands stimulation) are performed. Poisson regression models with adjustment for potential confounding factors will be used. Results The T6 follow-up started in March, 2021, and is still ongoing. Statistical analyses will be set up in October, 2021, and results will be presented. Both subjective (questionnaire responses) and objective (saliva flow rates) indicators of salivary dysfunctions will be analysed, and a combined indicator will be created. Discussion It is the first study to investigate the risk of salivary dysfunctions (using both objective and subjective indicators) in relation to organ (salivary glands) doses, based on individual dosimeter records and dose reconstructions. Potential associated risk factors will be investigated. The results will allow the identification of patients at risk of salivary dysfunctions, and thus to propose to clinicians a more adapted follow-up and/or countermeasures to adverse effects.
