The lower treatment rate and incidence of post treatment hypothyroidism in the above studies as compared to our results, could be attributed to the lower dose of 131 I used, to the fact that some patients were on antithyroid drugs before 131 I treatment [hormones.gr]

CONCLUSIONS: Surgical excision of solitary toxic thyroid nodules would appear to be the treatment of choice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis After exclusion of malignancy, prognosis for thyroid disease is excellent. [patient.info]

Benign nodules that require treatment have a excellent prognosis. In case of cancerous nodules, prognosis is based on the type of cancer. [hxbenefit.com]

However, the distant metastatic disease to bone confirmed her poor prognosis. [healio.com]

Prognosis of pathology With timely treatment, the disease is almost always cured. If all of the gland was removed, then life-long hormone therapy is prescribed. [acikgunluk.net]
