Radioiodine Therapy

Radioiodine therapy, also known as I-131 therapy, is a medical treatment that uses radioactive iodine to target and treat thyroid conditions, particularly thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism.

Iodine is a natural building block for thyroid hormones like triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It gets absorbed from the blood into thyroid cells. Likewise, when we use radioactive iodine, it works by being taken up by thyroid cells. It releases beta rays that specifically damage the thyroid tissue in that area.

In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland produces an excess of thyroid hormones. Radioiodine therapy addresses this condition by eliminating overactive thyroid cells and reducing the size of an enlarged thyroid gland. This intervention effectively halts the overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.

Benefits

Radioiodine therapy offers a lasting cure for thyroid issues, ensuring effectiveness, high success rates, and minimal discomfort.

  • Up to 90% success rate in resolving overactive thyroid symptoms.

  • Precisely targets thyroid tissue

  • Minimal side effects and impact on other organs

  • Outpatient procedure

  • Long-lasting results

  • Non-invasive procedure

  • Cost-effective compared to multiple surgeries or lifelong medication

  • Quick recovery.

How does it work?

  • You will be asked to swallow the radioiodine in the form of capsules (pills) or liquid or given an injection. Your thyroid will absorb the majority of the radioactive iodine during the treatment.

  • The nuclear medicine team will perform scans to monitor where the iodine has been absorbed.

  • The radiation will target cells in your thyroid gland and destroy them.
