An enlarged thyroid gland (in the neck) is called a Goiter. This gland can be swollen due to numerous causes and so it is important to find out why the gland is swollen before appropriate treatment can begin.

This is an important gland. The hormones produced by the thyroid gland, including thyroxin, help adjust and maintain the basal metabolic rate and direct the activities of many different cells and organs.

The best treatment for a goiter is a subtotal thyroidectomy.This is an operation in which most of the thyroid gland is removed. There are some research studies suggesting that putting a patient on a thyroid hormone pill everyday may help to shrink goiters or keep them from growing. However, there are other studies suggesting that this may not work. There are also studies suggesting that even a mild overdose of thyroid hormone, if taken for many years, can result in osteoporosis and may put older individuals at risk for abnormal heart rhythms.

Is radioactive treamtment safe for goiter?

There is no "safe" level of radiation but the treatment of a goiter using radioactive Iodine is not a big risk because the thyroid gland takes up almost all of the radioactive Iodine very quickly so it doesn't keep 'floating' around the body.
