Radioactive iodine and the salivary glands.
Radioactive iodine ((131)I) targets the thyroid gland and has been proven to play an effective role in the treatment of differentiated papillary and follicular cancers. Simultaneously, this radioisotope hones in on the salivary glands where it is concentrated and secreted into the saliva. Dose related damage to the salivary parenchyma results from the (131)I irradiation. Salivary gland swelling...
متن کاملRadiation dose of caregivers could be reduced in thyroid carcinoma patients requiring high dose of radioactive iodine: A case report
Undesired radiation exposure to caregivers is an important problem in radioiodine therapy in thyroid carcinoma patients, especially when patient is non-ambulatory. Special precautions are needed to keep the exposure to caregivers low when higher dose of radioiodine is necessary. Here we present a case-report of a 74-year old male patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma with local invasion and...
متن کاملSeeking Optimal Management for Radioactive Iodine Therapy-induced Adverse Effects
Radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) is one of the important treatment modalities in the management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). RAIT with iodine-131 has long been used in the management of DTC for the ablation of residual thyroid or treatment of its metastases. Despite being reasonably safe, radioiodine therapy is not always without side effects. Even relatively low administered activi...
متن کاملProspective Single-Arm Study of Radioprotection by Amifostine in High Dose Radioactive Iodine Therapy for Thyroid Cancer
Purpose: Xerostomia, sialoadenitis, taste dysfunction and nausea are well known toxicities following high dose radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment for well-differentiated thyroid cancer. This prospective study sought to determine the incidence rates for RAI adverse effects and to determine, whether the radioprotector, amifostine could decrease the duration of the adverse effects in single treatm...
متن کاملHigh dose radioiodine outpatient treatment: an initial experience in Thailand
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to determine whether high-dose radioactive iodine (Na131I) outpatient treatment of patients with thyroid carcinoma is a pragmatically safe approach, particularly for the safety of caregivers. Methods: A total of 79 patients completed the radiation-safety questionnaires prior to receiving high-dose radioactive iodine treatment. The questionnaire studied th...
