Reassessing Radioactive Iodine Use After Thyroidectomy in Low-Risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab
Routine radioactive iodine (RAI) after thyroidectomy in low‐risk differentiated thyroid cancer shows no clear benefit in reducing recurrence or improving survival. These findings support a selective, risk‐based approach, avoiding unnecessary treatment and potential adverse effects.

Dependence of radioactive iodine-131 capture by the lacrimal ducts on the tear production level

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Purpose: Secondary acquired lacrimal duct obstruction (SALDO) is one of the complications of radioiodine therapy. SALDO is formed a few months after therapy if there is a sufficient uptake of radioactive iodine by the nasolacrimal duct.
