Ukukhuluma ngokuqinile, akukho ukuvimbela kwangempela, kodwa abantu abaye baphathwa nge-irradiation ekhanda nasentanyeni noma labo abahlala ezindaweni lapho ukuhlolwa kwe-nuclear kuye kwenziwa khona kufanele bazuze ekuqapheni okuvamile okulula. (i-palpation yesifunda se-thyroid).

Abantu abangavamile abasengozini enkulu kakhulu yomdlavuza we-thyroid ngenxa yokuguqulwa kofuzo bangaxoxa nodokotela wabo ngenzuzo yokuvimbela i-thyroidectomy engenzeka, ukuze kukhishwe indlala yegilo. Ngakho-ke kufanele sihlole ngokucophelela izinzuzo nezingozi zalolu khetho.

Kubantu abahlala eduze kwesikhungo samandla enuzi, izinyathelo eziphuthumayo zokuvikela indlala yegilo kuhlelwa uma kwenzeka ingozi ezohambisana nokukhishwa kwemfucuza yenuzi. I-Potassium iodide, ebizwa nangokuthi "i-iodine ezinzile", iyisidakamizwa esivimbela imiphumela ye-iodine enemisebe ku-thyroid. Indlala yegilo ilungisa i-iodine, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-radioactive noma cha. Ngokugcwalisa indlala nge-iodine engeyona imisebe, ingozi yokulimala ingancishiswa.

Izindlela zokusabalalisa lo muthi ziyehluka kumasipala ngomasipala nakumazwe ngamazwe. Abantu abahlala eduze kwesikhungo sikagesi bangathola ulwazi kumasipala wabo.
