Abstract: …Some studies mention the effects of radioactive fallout, particularly after the accident in Chernobyl. Another probable cause is related to progress in medical practice, and particularly in diagnosis. In this article, we describe time trends in the incidence of papillary and follicular cancers, taking into account the size of the tumour at the time of diagnosis. The analysis was carried out on cases from six French cancer registries for the period 1983–2000…

Abstract:…However, several unique chromosomal break-points have been described in radiation-associated thyroid cancers that are not commonly found in spontaneously occurring thyroid cancer. Furthermore, activation of specific subtypes of the ret/PTC tyrosine kinase oncogene appears to be more common in radiation-associated thyroid cancers than in spontaneous thyroid cancers. In summary, thyroid cancers developing in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident provide a unique opportunity to search for chromosomal abnormalities that may be specific for radiation-induced thyroid cancer.

Abstract: After the Chernobyl reactor accident, the incidence of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents living in contaminated areas of the Ukraine and Belarus increased significantly. In total, 4600 cases of thyroid cancer have been observed between 1986 and 2002 among those aged 0–18 years at the time of the reactor accident…. Thyroid surgery was performed in the Center for Thyroid Tumors in Minsk, Belarus, and radioiodine therapy followed in Germany at the Universities of Essen (until the end of 1994) and afterwards the University of Würzburg….

Abstract: …The recently completed Chernobyl Forum concluded that after a number of years, along with reduction of radiation levels and accumulation of humanitarian consequences, severe social and economic depression of the affected regions and associated psychological problems of the general public and the workers had become the most significant problem to be addressed by the authorities. The majority of the affected land is now safe for life and economic activities. However, in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and in some limited areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine some restrictions on land-use should be retained for decades to come.…
