Effect of radioactive iodine therapy on hematological parameters in patients with thyroid cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with thyroid cancer (TC) are commonly treated with radioactive iodine therapy (RIA) to prevent neoplastic transformation and the re-emergence of cancer cells. However, it has major side effects on blood cells. However, the degree of change in hematological parameters reported varies across studies. Therefore, the aim of this review was to assesses the mean differences in hematological parameters after RAI therapy.

Methods

The relevant articles for this review were identified through extensive searches of databases and the Google search engine. The identified articles were subsequently selected using predetermined eligibility criteria. All relevant information from the screened articles was extracted. The pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) of the
