SUMMARY
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of radioactive iodine therapy on the quality of life in patients diagnosed with Graves’ disease and toxic adenoma. The findings suggest that radioactive iodine therapy positively influences not only hormonal stabilization but also psychosocial well-being. Specific tools like ThyPRO-39 are recommended for comprehensive clinical monitoring of patient outcomes post-treatment. Keywords: Graves’ disease, toxic adenoma, quality-of-life indicator REFERENCES
