Role of radioiodine in management of thyroid cancer: experience with 70 cases

Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull. 1992 Dec;18(2):68-71.

Abstract

Results of 70 cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma managed with I131 and surgery have been reported. These results add to the body of knowledge that already exists in the field of treatment of thyroid cancer with radioactive iodine. These results also indicate that the success of radioiodine therapy depends on adequate surgical removal of the thyroid tissue.
