Artificial Tears for the Reduction of Radioiodine Levels in the Nasolacrimal Duct System of Patients with Thyroid Carcinoma following Radioiodine Therapy
Artificial Tears for the Reduction of Radioiodine Levels in the Nasolacrimal Duct System of Patients with Thyroid Carcinoma following Radioiodine Therapy
This phase II trial studies how well artificial tears works in reducing radioiodine levels in the nasolacrimal duct system in patients with thyroid carcinoma following radioiodine therapy. Radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid carcinoma has been associated with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Artificial tears may dilute the amount of radioactive iodine in the tears of the eyes, thus decreasing uptake by the cells lining the nasolacrimal duct system.
