Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may
adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of …

Background. The purpose of this study was to assess the late side effects of radioiodine
therapy (RIT) on salivary gland function. One hundred eighty two patients were evaluated …

Objectives Radioiodine therapy is a common adjunct to thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid
cancer treatment. However, a variety of associated adverse effects have been reported. In …

Sialadenitis and xerostomia are well-known side effects of high-dose radioactive iodine
((131) Iota) treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This study was …

Purpose We investigated whether 131 I whole-body scintigraphy could predict functional
changes in salivary glands after radioiodine therapy. Methods We evaluated 90 patients …

Background: Understanding of changes in salivary and lacrimal gland functions after
radioactive iodine therapy (131I-therapy) remains limited, and, to date, no studies have …

Abstract Background Radioiodine‐131 (I131) therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC)
is generally a safe and effective treatment, but it has some potential side effects, which have …
