放射性碘愈来愈多地被用作甲状腺机能亢进的首选治疗方法。即使这种方法已成功应用长达50多年,但仍有随后发生癌症的危险,尤其是那些在年轻时接受过治疗的病人更令人担心。为此,伯明翰大学医学院的Jayne A Franklyn教授等人对应用放射性碘治疗甲状腺机能亢进的病人的癌发生率及死亡率进行了调查。 Radioactive iodine is increasingly being used as the preferred treatment for hyperthyroidism. Even if this method has been successfully applied for more than 50 years, there is still the risk of subsequent cancer, especially those who are treated at a young age are even more worrying. To this end, Professor Jayne A Franklyn of Birmingham University School of Medicine and others investigated the incidence and mortality of patients treated with radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism.
