Abstract:
- Medical and biological regularities of formation of thyroid disease in persons exposed to large-scale radiation accidents (for example, the Chernobyl NPP), effects of iodine radionuclides tocreasing levels of various types of thyroid cancer, which is dependent on gender, age at exposure, received doses, as well as cytogenetic features of thyrocytes and their genomic instability, being also determined by the quality and quantity of conducted institutional health care operations (“active screening”).
- After the Chernobyl disaster, in Belarus, growth of frequency of cancer and non-cancer disease of thyroid gland was registered. The greatest rise in the frequency of thyroid cancer, primary hypothyroidism, single and multinodular goiter, autoimmune thyroiditis occur among children and adolescents of the Gomel region, undergoing exposure to radionuclide iodine ….
