Abstract: Twenty years ago on 26 April 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident occurred (or, more precisely, the explosion that marked the start of the accident occurred – the resultant fire lasted several days). This is by far the largest unintentional release of radioactive material into the environment and caused widespread contamination in Europe, which was sufficiently great in the vicinity of Chernobyl to require evacuation of the population. Much attention has been paid to the possible effects on health of the resulting exposure to radiation, but the rapidity of the appearance and the magnitude of the excess cases of childhood thyroid cancer in the heavily contaminated areas of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia took most people by surprise. The striking excess of thyroid cancer among those exposed as children is undoubtedly attributable to the high thyroid doses received from radioiodine released during the accident…

Keywords: Chernobyl; Thyroid carcinoma; Histology
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to analyze the histological features of post-Chernobyl papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) that occurred in children, adolescents and young adults living in radionuclide-contaminated territories of the Russian Federation. We reviewed the histological sections of thyroid carcinoma in 123 patients (39 males and 84 females) aged 0–16 years at the time of accident from Bryansk, Kaluga, Oriol and Tula regions of Russia….

Abstract: The dramatic increase in childhood thyroid carcinoma observed in Belarus and Ukraine as early as 4 years after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, is well recognized as being a consequence of exposure to radioactive iodine fallout. Uncertainties persist concerning the contamination and the dosimetric data. Thyroid nodule, cervical lymph nodes or systematic ultrasound thyroid screening in exposed children led to the diagnosis….

Title: Summary of the cytological diagnosis of childhood thyroid diseases around Chernobyl
Author: Ito, Masahiro / Yamashita, Shunichi
Reference: International Congress Series, 1234, p.185-192, May 2002
doi: 10.1016/S0531-5131(01)00607-0
Keywords: Thyroid cancer; Cytology; Childhood; Fine-needle aspiration biopsy
Abstract: A combination of ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in the screening project on children around Chernobyl. The aspirated materials from 446 cases were analyzed cytologically. The ultrasonographical screening revealed a 2.9% prevalence of thyroid abnormalities. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA), conducted in 446 cases, revealed the following diseases: papillary carcinoma, 7.2%; follicular neoplasm, 10.3%; adenomatous goiter, 22.4%; chronic thyroiditis, 26.2%; and cyst, 22.9%….
