Radioactive Iodine for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Wendy W L Chan et al. Methods Mol Biol. 2022.

Abstract

Radioactive iodine is given after total thyroidectomy for remnant ablation or treatment of residual/metastatic disease. The decision and dose of radioactive iodine should be in a personalized and patient-specific approach, taking account the clinical-pathological features, risk stratification, patient's preference, and facilities of the institutions. We review the principles and use of radioactive iodine in differentiated thyroid cancer.

Keywords: Ablation; Papillary thyroid carcinoma; Prognosis; Radioactive iodine; Treatment.
