Piyavate Hospital’s Radioactive Iodine Therapy Center in Bangkok specializes in treating thyroid-related conditions such as hyperthyroidism and other types of thyroid ailments using radioactive iodine-131 (RAI). This form of therapy is favored due to its targeted approach, which utilizes the thyroid gland’s natural affinity for iodine, allowing for precise treatment of overactive thyroid cells with minimal exposure to other body tissues. This method is recognized for being non-invasive, generally well-tolerated, and effective, with the capability to destroy thyroid cells without significant side effects. Patients receive the iodine orally, and it selectively accumulates in the thyroid gland where the radioactive component acts to reduce thyroid function or eliminate thyroid cancer cells​.
