La terapia con yodo radiactivo se utiliza para destruir células tiroideas.

La terapia con yodo radiactivo puede utilizarse en casos de cáncer de tiroides para eliminar las células cancerosas que quedan después de que se ha operado para eliminar la glándula tiroidea. También puede utilizarse para tratar una glándula tiroidea hiperactiva (hipertiroidismo).

El yodo radiactivo se suele administrar en forma de líquido o cápsula que se ingiere.
