Long-Term Side Effects after High Dose Radioiodine Therapy in Thyroid Carcinoma Patients

  • Conference paper
Radioactive Isotopes in Clinical Medicine and Research XXIII

Part of the book series: Advances in Pharmacological Sciences ((APS))

Abstract

The investigation is an evaluation of intermediate and long-term side effects in patients after high-dose radioiodine treatment due to differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The results demonstrate that severe long-term non-stochastic side effects are rare after high-dose radioiodine treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Moderate side effects are more common than mentioned in literature. Mostly they are the result of radiation damage to the salivary glands.
