No. Patients with distant metastases, tumours with obvious extrathyroidal extension, and tumours greater than 4.0 cm are recommended for radioiodine therapy. For unifocal tumours less than 1.0 cm, radioiodine therapy is not advised because there is no documented survival benefit or recurrence risk reduction. Patient-specific selection is suggested when deciding whether to employ radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancers of medium size.
