Radioactive iodine (also called Iodine-131 or I131) is a substance that is used to treat thyroid cancer. Both thyroid cancer and thyroid tissue absorb iodine. This helps us find and treat areas of active thyroid cancer. How does it work? We will ask you to swallow a capsule that contains a dose of I131. It will enter your bloodstream very quickly.
