Abstract: According to huge amount of data on Chernobyl, children, young adults and adults, who have had thyroid cancer, are practically in good health today…. Dr. Reiners says the probability of children in Fukushima having thyroid cancer in the future is rather unreasonable. If the disease is cured in the early stage of its occurrence, the possibility of its successful recovery will be increased.

Abstract: In presented paper the problem of thyroid cancer following the ChNPP accident is considered for the first time on the basis of system approach. The three main tasks are solved: prognostication of immediate and later effects of radiation action comments with the induction of malignant thyroid tumors; determination of radiation risks of non-cancer thyroid diseases; estimation of radiation risks of cancer thyroid diseases. As a result of conducted prognostication estimates it is shown, in particular, that the attributive life time risk for children from the territories of Bryansk oblast contaminated by radionuclides will constitute 44% (i.e., nearly each second cancer will be conditioned by radiation), for children of Kaluga oblast this coefficient will amount to 26%. In the cohort of children and adolescents of Kaluga oblast (5694 people) with individual radiation dose of thyroid gland based on direct radiometry carried out in 1986 the radiation risk estimates of non-cancer thyroid diseases were obtained. In particular, estimation of excess relative risk coefficient at the dose of 1 Gy equal to 0,2 (0,06; 0,34) is in a good agreement with the data published on the basis of AHS-cohort (Japan). The technology “case-control” is realized first for determination of radiation risks of thyroid cancer diseases by children and adolescent (at the moment of the accident) living in Bryansk oblast. The relative risk coefficient of thyroid cancer diseases in the western rayons of Bryansk oblast contaminated by radionuclides at the dose of 1 Gy is equal 7,15 (1,52; 33,8). The principal radiation epidemiological data obtained evidence the necessity of conducting the long-term monitoring the persons exposed to radiation action due to the ChNNP accident.

Abstract: The choice of optimal method of treating and diagnosing malignant tumors is an actual and heated issue in today’s Ukraine, concerning not only endocrinologists and oncologists but the whole medical field. Papillary cancer of the thyroid gland was the most significant aftermath of the Chernobyl accident. Contemporary diagnosis and radical, chirurgic and therapeutic schemes enable us to approach successful consequences of treatment…

Abstract: The paper presents the analysis of thyroid cancer incidence in the territories of Russia most contaminated after the Chernobyl accident. In the work data on incidence in the Bryansk, Kaluga, Orel and Tula regions (5298 thousand persons) are used. Information on incidence has been obtained from regional oncological dispensaries (state health institutions involved in diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms). Altogether, 2599 cases of thyroid cancer are considered from 1982 to 1995.

Abstract: Topic: Contamination and zoning of the territories of Belorussia, medical consequences. According to the insufficient protecting measures, thyroid cancer incidents began to be detected from 1990, especially among children, in Belorussia, under the influence of radionuclide iodine. In comparison to the pre-accidental period, the incidence of thyroid cancer grew 33.6 times, in children, and 2.4-7 times in adults. The highest number of patients with thyroid cancer appeared in the inhabitants of the Gomel and Bretsk regions.

Keywords: development of screening
Abstract: Almost all children with thyroid cancer, subjected to research, have responded successfully to treatment. Thanks to the lessons of Chernobyl, researchers have developed knowledge of screening the early stage of thyroid cancer in children and young adults. Thus, later accidents, including Fukushima, should have less spreading of thyroid cancer.

Abstract: Although people in Japan fear “epidemiology”, according to appropriate and immediate actions taken after the Fukushima accident, the authorities have succeeded in decreasing the risk of thyroid cancer. Due to the lessons of Chernobyl, screening was introduced in the early stage, after Fukushima, which shall have its good consequences.

Abstract: Even the disregard of exceeding “linear” estimation seemed to be of no safety for people. That is, to consider that even a low amount of radionuclide iodine could increase the incidence of thyroid cancer, if the exposure last long. The data show that the number of patients with thyroid cancer has grown 30-40 times in the regions affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
