[Articles] Thyroidectomy with or without postoperative radioiodine for patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer in the UK (IoN): a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial

The IoN trial shows that ablation (or postoperative radioiodine) can be avoided for patients with pT1, pT2, and N0 or Nx tumours with no adverse features. Many patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer worldwide can safely avoid postoperative radioiodine and its related hospitalisation and side-effects, which in turn results in lower health-care costs.
