Treatments provided at our department:
- Treatment of hyperthyroidism with Radioactive Iodine-131: Radioactive iodine-131 therapy is a common and one of the most preferred treatments for hyperthyroidism. The studies conducted since 1944 demonstrated that this therapy poses no risk for the patients.
