DOES RADIOACTIVE IODINE SHORTEN YOUR LIFE?

WHAT IS RADIOACTIVE IODINE (RAI) TREATMENT?

RAI uses targeted iodine (I-131) to destroy overactive or cancerous thyroid cells, treating Graves’ disease and thyroid cancer effectively.

IS RAI SAFE FOR LONG-TERM LIFE EXPECTANCY?

Studies show RAI does not shorten life for most patients. In thyroid cancer, it can even improve survival, especially in intermediate-risk cases.

HOW RAI IMPROVES SURVIVAL IN THYROID CANCER

RAI lowers cancer recurrence, improves 5- and 10-year survival rates, and boosts treatment outcomes when added to surgery.

RAI AND GRAVES’ DISEASE: WHAT TO EXPECT

RAI effectively controls hyperthyroidism. Most patients later develop hypothyroidism and start lifelong thyroid hormone replacement for stable health.

ARE THERE CARDIOVASCULAR OR BRAIN RISKS?

Some patients may see short-term heart or stroke risk after RAI, but long-term risks drop with proper monitoring.

CAN RAI CAUSE SECONDARY CANCERS?

High doses may slightly raise the risk of secondary cancers, such as leukemia or salivary gland cancer. The overall risk remains low for most patients.

LIFE AFTER RAI: QUALITY, RECOVERY & HORMONES

Most patients return to normal life quickly. Long-term well-being depends on regular thyroid hormone management and routine health monitoring.
