Radiogenic thyroid cancer in Belarus: fact or fiction?

Abstract: According to a report published in 1992, the number of thyroid cancer cases in children in Belarus has increased more than 10-fold overall and more than 20-fold in some areas. The increase started in 1990, 4 years after the Chernobyl catastrophe. The histological diagnosis of the cases has been verified by pathologists from western Europe. The report has met with great scepticism in the scientific community. Our intention is to comment on the criticisms made of the report.

Keywords: Chernobyl accident; Thyroid cancer; Incidence; Treatment; Thyroid radiation dose

Abstract: In the present paper are generalized data on the increase of thyroid cancer incidence in children and adolescents affected after the Chernobyl accident for the period 1986–2004. Beginning in 1990, a significant rise in the number of thyroid cancer cases and incidence was noted in the cohort aged 0–18 years at the time of the accident, especially among children aged 0–14 years. Patients’ distribution by age at the time of the accident points out that the most significant increase in the number of thyroid cancer patients occurred at the expense of children who were aged up to 4 years in 1986….
