Title: The Chernobyl Accident — An Epidemiological Perspective

Keywords: Cancer; cataracts; cardiovascular diseases; Chernobyl accident; radiation; thyroid cancer
Abstract: Twenty-five years have passed since radioactive releases from the Chernobyl nuclear accident led to the exposure of millions of people in Europe. Studies of affected populations have provided important new data on the links between radiation and cancer—particularly the risk of thyroid tumours from exposure to iodine isotopes—that are important not only for a fuller scientific understanding of radiation effects, but also for radiation protection. It is now well documented that children and adolescents exposed to radioiodines from Chernobyl fallout have a sizeable dose-related increase in thyroid cancer, with the risk greatest in those youngest at exposure and with a suggestion that deficiency in stable iodine may increase the risk….

Title: Summary of the cytological diagnosis of childhood thyroid diseases around Chernobyl
Author: Ito, Masahiro / Yamashita, Shunichi
Reference: International Congress Series, 1234, p.185-192, May 2002
doi: 10.1016/S0531-5131(01)00607-0
Keywords: Thyroid cancer; Cytology; Childhood; Fine-needle aspiration biopsy
Abstract: A combination of ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in the screening project on children around Chernobyl. The aspirated materials from 446 cases were analyzed cytologically. The ultrasonographical screening revealed a 2.9% prevalence of thyroid abnormalities. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA), conducted in 446 cases, revealed the following diseases: papillary carcinoma, 7.2%; follicular neoplasm, 10.3%; adenomatous goiter, 22.4%; chronic thyroiditis, 26.2%; and cyst, 22.9%….

Title: Validation of 131 I ecological transfer models and thyroid dose assessments using Chernobyl fallout data from the Plavsk district, Russia

doi: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2009.08.005
Keywords: Chernobyl accident; Iodine-131; Environment modeling; Models validation; Population; Thyroid dose
Abstract: Within the project “Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety” (EMRAS) organized by the IAEA in 2003 experimental data of 131I measurements following the Chernobyl accident in the Plavsk district of Tula region, Russia were used to validate the calculations of some radioecological transfer models. Nine models participated in the inter-comparison. Levels of 137Cs soil contamination in all the settlements and 131I/137Cs isotopic ratios in the depositions in some locations were used as the main input information. 370 measurements of 131I content in thyroid of townspeople and villagers, and 90 measurements of 131I concentration in milk were used for validation of the model predictions….

Title: Risk of radiogenic malignant and benign thyroid diseases for the population of the Oryol oblast after the Chernobyl accident: outcome of large-scale epidemiological studies
Author: Ivanov, Victor K / Tsyb, Anatoly F / Chekin, Sergey Yu / Parshin, Vladimir S / Maksioutov, Marat A / Saenko, Alexander S / Sevankaev, Alexander V / (…) / Vlasov, Oleg K
doi: 10.1016/S0531-5131(03)01144-0
Keywords: Oryol oblast; Chernobyl accident; Thyroid dose; Radiation risk
Abstract: Due to the Chernobyl accident, the following four oblasts of the Russian Federation—Bryansk, Oryol, Tula and Kaluga—were contaminated with radionuclides at the utmost. In the paper, the problem of the assessment of risk for the development of radiogenic malignant and benign thyroid diseases among the population of the Oryol oblast is discussed. Mean thyroid dose to the residents of the Oryol oblast was 46.3 mGy for children and 10.9 mGy for adults….

Title: Chernobyl-related ionising radiation exposure and cancer risk: an epidemiological review
Author: Moysich, Kirsten B / Menezes, Ravi J / Michalek, Arthur M
Reference: The Lancet Oncology, 3 (5), p.269-279, May 2002
doi: 10.1016/S1470-2045(02)00727-1
Abstract: The Chernobyl nuclear accident on 26th April, 1986, led to a massive release of radionuclides into the environment. Although vast areas of Europe were affected by Chernobyl-related ionising radiation, the accident had the greatest impact in Belarus, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation. Epidemiological studies that have investigated the link between the Chernobyl accident and cancer have largely focused on malignant diseases in children, specifically thyroid cancer and leukaemia….

Title: Thyroid diseases around Chernobyl: from autoimmune diseases to malignant tumors
Author: Pacini, Furio / Agate, Laura / Molinaro, E. / Elisei, Rossella / Pinchera, Aldo
Reference: International Congress Series, 1234, p.175-183, May 2002
doi: 10.1016/S0531-5131(01)00606-9
Keywords: Thyroid cancer; Radiation; Chernobyl; Autoimmune disease
Abstract: Both an increased incidence of thyroid carcinoma mainly of the papillary histotype and to a lesser extent, of autoimmune phenomena have been observed, several years after external irradiation to the head and the neck, in subjects treated for various non-thyroidal disorders, in atomic bomb survivors in Japan, and in residents of the Marshall Island exposed to radiation during the testing of hydrogen bombs. More recently, the exposure to radioactive fallout as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident has clearly confirmed the causal association of radiation exposure and the development of thyroid autoimmune phenomena in the population exposed to radiation.This article will review the most significant features of thyroid diseases associated with the post-Chernobyl radioactive contamination.

Reference: Journal of Radiological Protection, 22 (3A), p.A137-A141, Sep 2002
doi: 10.1088/0952-4746/22/3A/324
Abstract: The current paper presents the methods and design of two case–control studies among Chernobyl liquidators—one of leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the other of thyroid cancer risk—carried out in Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia. The specific objective of these studies is to estimate the radiation induced risk of these diseases among liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, and, in particular, to study the effect of exposure protraction and radiation type on the risk of radiation induced cancer in the low-to-medium- (0–500 mSv) radiation dose range….
