Abstract: Numerous studies have confirmed that the thyroid gland is one of the most radiation-sensitive organs of the human body, and thyroid cancer is one of the most common tumors induced by radiation. [1] Occurrence of cases of thyroid cancer after the Chernobyl accident itself was no news to the experts, but the huge increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer in children in the first years after the accident was, indeed, unexpected: within this period alone, there were more than four thousand cases of thyroid cancer among the children.
