It is shown that radioactive iodine therapy is an alternative method in the treatment even of large goitres provided this method of treatment is confined to patients beyond the age of 40. If the patient is generally inoperable, this is in fact the method of choice. The success rate can be compared with that of other methods of treatment. In this connection, special attention is drawn to the high rate of alleviation of complaints. No significant side effects are seen; in a few cases only, treatment will have to be repeated.
结果表明，放射性碘疗法是一种治疗方法，即使是大甲状腺肿也适用，前提是该治疗方法仅限于40岁以上的患者。如果患者一般无法进行手术，实际上这就是首选方法。其成功率可与其他治疗方法相比较。在这方面，要特别注意症状缓解率很高。未观察到明显的副作用；仅在少数情况下，治疗需要重复进行。
