In the subgroup of the patients with Graves’ disease and thyroid nodules thyroid volume was also a statistically significant factor contributing to positive outcome of radioiodine treatment after six months, while it was demonstrated that use of antithyroid drugs prior to 131\-I treatment reduced cure rate by 30% in this subgroup of the patients."]
