Radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) has traditionally been one of the cornerstones of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treatment. The decision to use RRA in low-risk (LR) and intermediate-risk (IR) patients is controversial. The aim of this review is to examine the evidence of RRA benefit in the staging, follow-up, and recurrence prevention in LR and IR DTC patients.
