Скачать или смотреть Radioiodine Treatment for Thyroid Cancer – What to Expect

In this video, Professor Chris Nutting, Consultant Oncologist specialising in thyroid and head & neck cancers, explains the full journey of a patient receiving radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy following thyroid cancer surgery.

You’ll learn:
✅ What happens before treatment – including consultations and the low-iodine diet (about 10 days prior)
✅ The role of Thyrogen injections before treatment
✅ How radioactive iodine is administered (a capsule the size of a tic-tac)
✅ Safety precautions and why patients stay in a specialist suite for 24–48 hours
✅ The role of medical physicists in monitoring radiation levels during your stay
✅ Discharge process and what the post-treatment scan shows
✅ Typical follow-up care, usually 7–10 days later
✅ Why a single dose is sufficient for over 90% of patients – and when additional treatment may be considered

This video is designed to reassure patients and families by providing a clear overview of how radioiodine therapy works, why it’s effective, and what to expect at each stage.
