Radioiodine therapy is non-invasive, safe and cost effective method of therapy for reduction of goitre even in patient with low radioiodine uptake and should not be restricted to elderly, or to patients with high operative risk, but should be used as first choice in every patient ...

The exacerbation of ophthalmopathy seen after radioiodine administration may be prevented by concurrent corticosteroid therapy in patients with mild active orbital activity. Patients with significant hyperthyroid symptoms, the elderly, and those with moderately severe chemical hyperthyroidism are usually ...
Radioiodine therapy is the safest, simplest, least expensive and most effective method for treatment of Graves' disease. Due to difficulties in previous methods for dose determination, fixed dose method of 1-131 is now considered the best practical metho
Patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RrDTC) have only a limited or no benefit from radioiodine therapy. For these patients, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have demonstrated encouraging results in advanced RrDTC. Nevertheless, these therapies are related with substantial side effect...
Although the clinical outcome for medulloblastoma patients has improved significantly, children afflicted with the disease frequently suffer from debilitating side effects related to the aggressive nature of currently available therapy. Alternative means for treating medulloblastoma are desperately needed. We ...
and there is uncertainty on the optimal level of pre-ablative TSH in considering outcome effects. Zhao et al. reported a pre-ablative TSH level of 90 to less than 120 mIU/L might achieve a better response to131I therapy6. However, another study demonstrated that endogenous TSH levels at th...

A possible explanation for the diminished effectiveness of (131)I treatment after rhTSH may be the interference of iodine content of L-thyroxine (L-T4) therapy during the protocol of administration of rhTSH. We have evaluated the effectiveness of stimulation by rhTSH for ...
Differentiated thyroid cancers are typically iodine-avid and can be effectively treated with radioiodine. In most patients, radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) is done for ablation of residual tissue or with adjuvant intent in case of suspected persistent d
