Radioactive Iodine Therapy
Radioactive iodine therapy is used to treat thyroid cancer. Your thyroid gland absorbs nearly all of the iodine in your body. The radioactive iodine collects mainly in thyroid cells, where the radiation can destroy the thyroid gland and any other thyroid cells, including cancerous cells that absorb iodine. This has only minimal effect on the rest of your body. Radioactive iodine therapy can be used to treat any type of thyroid tissue not removed by surgery.
