Abstract: Elimination of health effects of the Chernobyl disaster requires considerable effort on the part of the country, as a whole, as well as the scientific and practical institutions abroad.
Nearly 20 years after the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the ecological situation in the country and the need to address health effects of long-term disaster require dynamic monitoring of the state of health in large numbers of people. In this regard, has been developed a long-term cooperation for the sake of a contribution to the project “Screening of the affected population in the international Chernobyl Program of the Red Cross.” Its plan formed diagnostic support outreach teams, which, in 2005, examined 15,754 people, including 1,070 children. Analysis of the diagnostic work-site teams, in recent years, has shown high efficiency of their activities, particularly in diagnosis of thyroid disease, including thyroid cancer.

Keywords: Radiation doses
Abstract: The paper discusses a methodological approach developed for reconstruction of thyroid doses from internal exposure to 131I and prospects of future works in this field. Estimated levels of thyroid irradiation for the population of Russia after the accident are presented. These results have been obtained based on the retrospective analysis using the developed approach. Also, long-term health consequences of thyroid irradiation in the population of Russia have been predicted. Retrospective estimates have been made for individual thyroid doses for children and adolescents with the diagnosis of thyroid cancer living on the contaminated areas.

Abstract: The Chernobyl accident in 1986 resulted in unprecedented, in its scale, increased of incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) in children and adults, flowing very aggressively, with rapid development of regional and distant metastases. [4] In complex treatment of highly differentiated form of thyroid cancer, an important role is played by radioiodine therapy to improve surgical ablation component of treatment and treatment of distant metastases. The accumulation of contingent of thyroid cancer patients, in need of radioiodine therapy, requires analysis of complications and long-term consequences that arise from this type of radiation therapy.

Abstract: -How did radiation affect the thyroid gland?
– How can one determine the cells that are out of control and can bring some serious problems?
— Is there a disease prevention, and what is it?
– What should a person do if he/she suspects some change?
– The problem of iodine deficiency: this is not just a problem of Belarus: it exists in other countries too, particularly in Russia. Can we talk about tolerance, indifference, apathy manifested in people living in areas, which are endemic of iodine – is this a manifestation of the disease, or merely character traits?

Abstract: -Ecologic consequences, medical consequences…
Maps of deposition of iodine-131 and the number of thyroid cancer cases registered in the country, suggests that almost the entire population of Belarus has undergone “iodine shock”. In all categories of the victims of the Chernobyl accident, increases in the incidence of thyroid cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders are detected, which, however, in the current medical concepts, are not concerned with radiation…

Abstract: The growth of thyroid cancer in Belarus children peaked in 1995 when recorded 40 cases per 1 million young people of the republic (and in the Gomel region even more – 134 cases!), while the global incidence rate was equal to one case per million children. Since 1988, to the present, growth of the total incidence of Belarusian children has become 65.4 percent. The number of healthy children in the contaminated areas decreased from 60.5 to 20.3%, and those with chronic diseases – increased from 10.6 to 23.5%…

Abstract: Studies of medical consequences following the Chernobyl accident have shown that there is a need to solve specific tasks in how to use ultrasound: performing mass ultrasonic screening for early recognition of pathology; following up patients for early nosologic diagnosis, and conducting differentiated diagnosis between benignand malignant pathology of the thyroid. The purpose of the study was to explore ultrasonic visualisation of thyroid carcinoma for its early diagnosis.We have studied particularities of thyroid cancer (ultrasonic pictures) in 97 patients before surgical removal (female-male ratio 1.6:1). The ultrasonic picture of thyroid carcinoma can be categorised into two forms: nodular and diffuse. The nodular variant can be divided into nodes with limited spread (which have either regular or rather regular outlines) and nodes with a vast spread (with an irregular outline). More frequently the tumour is visualised as a hypoechogenic node. However, isoechogenic character of the node might indicate either the dissemination or multifocal growth of a tumour within the thyroid gland. Isoechogenic character of visualised cervical lymph nodes is likely to indicate the presence of malignancy in the thyroid. Thyroid carcinoma is frequently followed by metastases in the area of regional lymph nodes. Location of the node next to the thyroid capsule might cause extracapsular invasion of the tumour (pT4). Signs of «node ageing» cystic degeneration and calcification are rarely visible.

Keywords: screening,
Abstract: Since an accurate estimation of basal incidence of thyroid diseases around Chernobyl is essentially needed to discuss the relationship between radiation and thyroid diseases. Within the framework of the Chernobyl Sasakawa Project, we have screened and monitored childhood thyroid diseases. This project completed its 5-year health screening project at the end of April 1996, and a total of about 160,000 children were examined at the diagnostic centres located around Chernobyl. The results of the health screening have been separately published every year since 1992 by the respective centres on the basis of their presentation at the Chernobyl Sasakawa Medical Symposium. In 1997 the summary of the past 5 years-medical examination has been published and now all the data of screening were open.
