- I-131 which is radioactive iodine (RAI) iodine ) can be used to treat thyroid cancer.
- The RAI collects mainly in thyroid cells, where the radiation can destroy the thyroid gland and any other thyroid cells (including cancer cells) that take up iodine, with little effect on the rest of your body.
- The radiation dose used here is much stronger than the one used in radioiodine scans
