What is Endocrinology - Which thyroid disorders that cause goitre are treated with radioactive iodine?
Solitary toxic nodules, toxic nodular goitre, and diffuse toxic goitre can all be effectively treated with radioiodine. Radioactive iodine can also be used to treat benign multinodular goitres that are causing compressive symptoms in patients who are deemed to be poor surgical risks. Even if the goitre only reduces by around 30% or less, symptom alleviation is frequently seen.
