This has followed upon the availability of large amounts of the isotope prepared in the uranium pile. A number of cases have been reported in which tumors of the thyroid have been studied or treated by radioiodine,1-10and the literature has been recently reviewed by Rawson and McArthur.11Marinelli et al.10have stated that, on the basis of their radioautographic study of various histopathologic types of carcinomas of the thyroid, together with an estimation of the relative...Bibliography1.
