the stable intrathyroid iodine concentrations characteristic of nodular goiter , thyroid adenoma and cancer were determined by means of neutron activation analysis of resected material , mean iodine levels in the destruction focus in cancer , adenoma and nodular goiter were 32 +/- 5 , 174 +/- 38 and 344 +/- 43 , respectively . while 960 +/- 91 , 527+/-138 and 639+/-66 micrograms of iodine per 1g of wet weight were found in the surrounding apparently intact tissues of thyroid parenchyma .
