Core Tip Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is central to differentiated thyroid cancer management, relying on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-driven sodium-iodide symporter activity. Current protocols elevate TSH but overlook its circadian peak overnight. Aligning RAI administration with this peak via evening dosing may enhance iodine uptake, improve efficacy, reduce exposure, and optimize workflow. Preclinical evidence supports this chronotherapeutic approach, although clinical data are lacking. This review synthesizes existing evidence and proposes timed RAI administration as a novel strategy warranting prospective evaluation.
