Here is another site (it does mention iodine in other body tissues than
the thyroid gland, and mentions iodine for fibrocystic breast disease
though it says nothing about breast cancer)

http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Iodinecs.htmlSudden, large
doses of iodine may impair the production of thyroid hormones, causing
hypothyroidism temporarily in someone with otherwise normal thyroid
function. Excessive iodine intake can also increase the risk for other
thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's, Graves', certain thyroid cancers,
and thyrotoxicosis (a dangerous condition due to an excessive amount of
thyroid hormones in the bloodstream). For these reasons, iodine
supplementation is not recommended for people who live in areas where
iodine levels are sufficient.
It may be harmful to take more iodine than is typically consumed per day
(160 to 600 micrograms [mcg]) from table salt. Daily intake of 2,000 mcg
iodine may be toxic, particularly in people with kidney disease or
tuberculosis.
