Which of the following is used in the treatment of Thyroid cancer
Which of the following is used in the treatment of Thyroid cancer
I131
U238
Ra224
C14
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (A) : I131
I-131, sometimes known as iodine-131, is a radioactive element. Cancer of the thyroid is treated with it. The thyroid gland absorbs iodine from the blood in order to synthesise the hormone thyroxine, which is made from iodine. It is concentrated in the thyroid gland when radioactive iodine is administered to a cancer patient in modest doses because the thyroid gland absorbs radioactive iodine from the blood, which kills thyroid gland cells. Therefore, the enlarged thyroid tissue can be destroyed by radioactive iodine.

Concepts Used:
Human Endocrine System
The human endocrine system is a messenger system that balances or controls distant target organs through feedback loops of hormones released by the internal glands of an organism right into the circulatory system. The hypothalamus is the neural control node for all endocrine systems, in invertebrates.
Functions of the Human Endocrine System are:
The endocrine system controls a variety of body functions through hormone release. Hormones are built by the endocrine system's glands and pass throughout the bloodstream to various organs and tissues in the body. Hormones then command these organs and tissues about how to act.
The Endocrine System is in charge of the following bodily functions:
- Metabolic rate
- Development and growth of a human being
- Reproduction and sexual function
- Heart Rate
- Blood pressure
- The appetite is the need to eat
- Controls cycles of sleep and wakefulness
- Controls the temperature of the body
