متن کاملRadioactive Iodine Therapy and Glucose Tolerance
Radioactive iodine therapy is commonly used as an adjuvant therapy in follicular and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and in the treatment of Graves' disease (GD). The basis of this therapy is the accumulation of radioactive iodine by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) in the thyroid gland.

متن کاملAnaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Following Radioactive Iodine Therapy for Graves' Disease
Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy has been used as a treatment option for Graves' disease, and it has been widely accepted to be safe.
