Abstract
Radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) has been used in patients with differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) for many decades. However, many changes in thyroid cancer treatment have been introduced for the last decade worldwide, mainly a tendency to deescalate both surgical and adjuvant treatment has been observed. This work summarizes current Polish guidelines for adjuvant radioiodine therapy compared to American Thyroid Association recommendations.
