Abstract: In the analysis of the incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) of the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, a significant increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer (SIR = 3.47, 95% CI: 2.80, 4.25) among liquidators, in relation to the age-standardized male population of the country, is identified. It is shown that the highest incidence rate of thyroid cancer (SIR = 6.62, 95% CI: 4.63, 9.09) are of the liquidators, who participated in the work of the 30-km zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant between April and July in 1986. Statistically significant dependence of incidence of thyroid cancer among liquidators with external exposure dose is not identified. …
