title: [Treatment results in radio-iodine therapy of the autonomous adenoma of the thyroid gland (author's transl)].
abstract: In order to control the results of radio-iodine therapy, the autonomous adenomas treated in our clinic from 1961 to 1975 with radioactive iodine on 105 patients have been subjected to follow-up examinations and compared with the results obtained by other authors, especially Swoboda et al. (23), who treated 185 patients with corresponding follow-ups. In both groups, efforts were aimed at achieving successful treatment via high single-dose radio-iodine therapy. The article discusses the indication, method, results and posttherapeutic care involved. Both the examined groups demonstrate good treatment results (in 95 or 98%, respectively, of our cases and of the cases treated by Swoboda et al., the autonomous adenoma was eliminated). This proves that high single-dose therapy with radioactive iodine (I131) is a successful method of treating an autonomous adenoma, thus representing a therapeutic alternative to surgery.
