[Efficiency of treatment for diffuse toxic goiter in relation to the estimated therapeutic activity of radioactive iodine].

Forty-eight patients with diffuse toxic goiter (Graves's disease) were treated with radioactive iodine in a dose of 5.3-30.0 mCi.

[Clinical guidelines developed by the Russian Association of Endocrinologists for the diagnosis and treatment of nodular goiter].

The guidelines presented do not pretend to be a systematic presentation of all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of nodular goiter and are not intended to replace guidelines for various medical disciplines. In real clinical practice, situations may arise that are beyond the scope of the recommendations presented, in connection with which the final decision regarding a specific patient and responsibility for him lies with the attending physician.The recommendations presented are mainly devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of nodular (multinodular) euthyroid colloid, differently proliferating goiter in adults (over 18 years of age) and are the agreed opinion of the RAE experts who developed them.

[Thyroid cancer].

The prevalence of nodular lesions of the thyroid gland (thyroid gland), according to various researchers, ranges from 3 to 7%]. The widespread introduction of ultrasound (ultrasound) in clinical practice, as well as the results of autopsy studies, showed that the prevalence of nodular lesions of the thyroid gland is much higher and is about 50%, especially at the age of over 50. In women, thyroid nodes are detected 2-4 times more often than in men.

[Long-term results of treatment of toxic goiter with radioactive I].

The study included 103 patients with toxic goiter, among whom 75 patients were diagnosed as having Graves' disease (GD) and 28 had thyroid functional autonomy (FA) that was presented with toxic multinodular goiter in most cases. All the patients received 131I therapy, then they were followed up; the duration of the follow-up of the patients in whom euthyroidism was preserved at the moment this paper was being written was 18 [10; 28] months. The treatment of GD in 86.
