☢️ RADIOIODINE (I-131) THERAPY IN TURKEY
Targeted Treatment for Thyroid Diseases with Excellent Outcomes
Radioiodine Therapy (I-131) is one of the most effective and safe treatments for thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism.
It works by delivering a targeted dose of radioactive iodine to destroy overactive or cancerous thyroid cells — without surgery.
At Medicine Park International, we connect patients from Romania and around the world with specialized nuclear medicine centers in Turkey, where this therapy is performed under expert supervision, with full medical travel support.
💡 What Is Radioiodine (I-131) Therapy?
Radioiodine therapy uses iodine-131, a radioactive isotope that naturally accumulates in thyroid cells.
When taken orally (as a capsule or liquid), it travels through the bloodstream and is absorbed almost exclusively by thyroid tissue.
The emitted radiation destroys abnormal thyroid cells while sparing the rest of the body — making it a highly precise, safe, and non-invasive treatment.
⚕️ CONDITIONS TREATED WITH I-131 THERAPY
Radioiodine (I-131) is used for both benign and malignant thyroid conditions.
1. Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)
Commonly caused by:
Graves’ Disease
Toxic multinodular goiter
Autonomous (toxic) thyroid nodules
Radioiodine helps normalize thyroid hormone levels, usually after one treatment session.
2. Thyroid Cancer
After thyroid surgery, I-131 is used to:
Destroy any remaining thyroid tissue
Treat residual cancer cells
Prevent recurrence and metastasis
This therapy is a key step in thyroid cancer management protocols worldwide.
🧬 HOW THE TREATMENT WORKS
Consultation & Preparation
The patient undergoes blood tests, a thyroid scan, and endocrinology evaluation.
Sometimes, a low-iodine diet or temporary withdrawal of thyroid medication is required.Administration of Radioiodine
The treatment is given orally — as a capsule or liquid — in a specialized hospital isolation room.Isolation Period
Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1–3 days, depending on radiation levels, until safe for discharge.Post-Treatment Monitoring
Follow-up includes thyroid hormone testing and whole-body scans to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
The entire process is comfortable, pain-free, and guided by experienced nuclear medicine specialists.
