Abstract. Radioiodine treatment (RAI) represents the most widespread and effective therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). RAI goals encompass ablative (destruction of thyroid remnants, to enhance thyroglobulin predictive value), adjuvant (destruction of microscopic disease to reduce recurrences), and therapeutic (in case of …Web

Radioactive iodine (RAI) is also known as I-131 and is a type of radioisotope treatment. Radioisotopes are radioactive substances given as a tablet or capsule (sometimes a liquid). Radioactive iodine treatment is given in hospital, and takes a few days. Although RAI spreads through the body, it is mainly absorbed by thyroid cells or thyroid ...Web

Radioactive iodine therapy is a type of internal radiotherapy treatment for thyroid cancer. It can also help to diagnose and treat some other cancers and conditions. Radioactive iodine is a type of iodine that is radioactive – iodine 131 (I-131). It is also called radio iodine. You usually have radioactive iodine as a capsule or a drink.Web

Radioactive iodine (I-131) or RAI as it shall now be referred to, has been commonly used for the treatment of both benign and malignant thyroid conditions since the 1940s. The aim of therapy is to treat hyperthyroidism by destroying sufficient thyroid tissue to render the patient either euthyroid or hypothyroid. Iodine-131 is a beta-emitting ...Web

Radioiodine is administered orally as sodium iodide (131-I) in solution or a capsule. The radioiodine is rapidly incorporated into the thyroid, and its beta emissions result in extensive local tissue damage. The net effect is ablation of thyroid function over a period of 6 to 18 weeks. Radioiodine for the treatment of hyperthyroidism will be ...Web

It uses a radioactive form of iodine called iodine 131 (I-131). The radioactive iodine circulates through your body in your bloodstream. The thyroid gland cells take up the radioactive iodine but it has little effect on other cells. The thyroid cells take in the iodine and get a very high dose of radiation. This destroys the thyroid cells and ...Web
