jodihoito
Jodihoito, also known as iodine therapy, is a medical treatment that utilizes radioactive iodine, typically Iodine-131, to treat certain thyroid conditions. The most common application of jodihoito is in the management of hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. It is also used as a treatment for thyroid cancer, both to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue after surgery and to target and destroy any cancer cells that may have spread.
The principle behind jodihoito is that thyroid cells, whether normal or cancerous, absorb iodine from the bloodstream.
The dosage and duration of jodihoito depend on the specific condition being treated, its severity, and the
