Transient cytotoxicity of 131I beta radiation in hyperthyroid patients treated with radioactive iodine
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Radioiodine ( 131 I) or radioactive iodine in low doses is used worldwide as the first line of management in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Information is available on the extent and severity of cell damage after a high dose radioiodine ( 131 I) therapy for thyroid cancer, but information is scanty on its cellular effects, its extent and severity of cell damage after ...

متن کاملPersonnel internal radiation exposure to iodine-125 in a radioiodination laboratory: Exposure levels and trends
ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...
متن کاملHigher body weight and distant metastasis are associated with higher radiation exposure to the household environment from patients with thyroid cancer after radioactive iodine therapy
There were insufficient data regarding radiation exposure to the household environment from patients with thyroid cancer who received radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in Asia; we therefore performed the present study at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Keelung, Taiwan.Patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer who received 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) RAI were enrolled in this prospective hos...
