Thyroidectomy for Graves Disease

[Poniesrfun]

I’ve learned so much about Grave’s disease and TED here. This popped up on Medscape today: medscape.com/viewarticle/10...?

Know Your Options: Thyroidectomy for Graves Disease.

It’s lengthy, and a pretty good discussion of options, including their frustration that they are only treating the results, not the cause of Graves. I was disappointed they didn’t get more into the long-term effects of RAI which we see more of on the thyroid cancer boards but overall it can give someone deciding on how they want to be treated some background for asking the right questions when they see their doctors.
