Abstract: For the period 1998–2002, in the framework of the Ukraine–USA Thyroid Project, medical screening examinations have been conducted to subjects who were aged 0 to 18 years at the time of the Chernobyl accident. These were residents of eight districts, from Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Zhytomyr regions of the Ukraine, having been most affected following the Chernobyl accident, and having received within several weeks after the accident direct measurements of thyroid doses of gamma radiation. For the period 1998–2000, 13227 cohort subjects have undergone screening, and in 2001–2002, a repeat screening was performed. As a result of screening, 64 cases of thyroid carcinoma have been identified, including 43 cases after the first screening and 21 cases after the second screening….

Abstract…. The children come from the Gomel region, one of the areas most heavily radio-contaminated by the Chernobyl fallout. In addition, leukocytes were treated with a challenge dose of bleomycin (BLM, 1.5 μg/ml), to assess the presence of an adaptive response (AR) potentially resulting from chronic exposure to radionuclides. As controls, 13 children living in Pisa (Italy) were enrolled in the study. Children with thyroid cancer show higher (p<0.001) DNA damage than healthy ones.. …
