RATIONALE: Radioactive iodine uses radiation to kill tumor cells. Giving iodine I 131 with or without thyroid-stimulating hormone after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known which dose of iodine I 131 is more effective when given with or without thyroid-stimulating hormone in treating thyroid cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different doses of iodine I 131 to compare how well they work when given with or without thyroid-stimulating hormone in treating patients who have undergone surgery for thyroid cancer.
