In case of active hot thyroid nodules that produce thyroid hormones, antithyroid drugs should be administered, that include beta-blockers, antithyroid drugs (methimazole,carbimazole,propylthiouracil), radioactive iodine, and thyroidectomy. If the nodule excision treatment (lobectomy, isthmectomy, and total thyroidectomy) is not curative, then treatment with postoperative radioactive iodine (RAI) remnant ablation and recombinant human TSH–mediated therapy is recommended.
