Thyroid cancer's ability to absorb iodine predicts treatment success

A new analysis reveals that how well a primary thyroid tumor absorbs iodine can predict whether cancer will persist in distant organs after treatment. The finding could help oncologists identify high-risk patients earlier and tailor therapy strategies, potentially improving outcomes for the 10,000+ Americans diagnosed with thyroid cancer annually.
