Clinincal data and pathological specimens from patients who had undergone at least one radioactive iodine-131 (\^131I) therapy in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital over the past 8-10 years were retrospectively collected (approximately 30-50 cases each in the \^131I treatment-responsive group vs. the \^131I treatment-resistant group). Patients in the \^131I treatment-resistant group underwent \^18F-Trop2 PET-CT imaging. Inclusion criteria: 1. History of total thyroidectomy with postoperative pathology confirming papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC); 2. At least one course of \^131I internal radiotherapy. Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of other severe comorbidities; 2. Incomplete clinical or follow-up data. The clinicopathological characteristics and Trop2 expression levels in tissue samples were compared between the \^131I treatment-responsive group and the \^131I treatment-resistant group. Within the \^131I treatment-resistant group, comparisons were made between the rapidly progressing subgroup and the stable-disease subgroup under TSH-suppressive therapy in terms of clinicopathological features, tissue Trop2 expression levels, and SUVmax of metastatic lesions on \^18F-Trop2 PET-CT imaging. Factors influencing progression-free survival and overall survival in \^131I-resistant patients were analyzed.

Tumor size;
Lesion size was determined using CT imaging. Lymph nodes were assessed based on their shortest diameter, while other target lesions were evaluated based on their longest diameter. Each measurable lesion underwent an average measurement derived from a minimum of three readings, with all measurements conducted by the same individual to minimize measurement discrepancies. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) were used to assess treatment response
Time frame: 6-60 months
Serological assessment
Including serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and serum anti-thyroglobulin antibody levels (TgAb) in thyrotropin-inhibited states, as well as tumor markers such as CEA
Time frame: 1-60months
