Abstract: Data on thyroid cancer cases operated in the period 1986–1999 among those born in Belarus and in Ukraine during the period 1968–1985 are analysed. Whereas the dependence of the total number of thyroid cancer cases on time after exposure is similar in the two countries, there are obvious differences in the dependencies on age at operation and on age at exposure.
