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.
