Abstract:

Radioactive iodine has been used in differentiated thyroid cancer for postoperative thyroid remnant ablation for several decades, yet its indications remain controversial. Because the potential administration of postoperative RAI plays an important role in surgical decision-making, understanding the current indications for postoperative RAI is critical in the global management of differentiated thyroid cancer. This review examines the changing indications for postoperative radioiodine from its introduction to the current guidelines.
