A member asked:
Should i consider radioactive iodine therapy for regrowth of tissue after -partial, then total thyroidectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends : That would depend on the original diagnosis and reason for thyroidectomy. If it was for benign modular disease or goiter then it shouldn't be necessary. If it was treatment of cancer then it is probably advisable but there are other factors that would need to be explored with your doctor.
