Mechanism of action
This is achieved through the use of radioactive iodine, which is taken up by thyroid cells and causes cell death. The radioactive iodine is selectively taken up by thyroid cells because they have a high affinity for iodine, allowing for targeted treatment of thyroid cancer. This targeted approach helps to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
