Author: Vladimir A. KNATKO and Inga N. DOROZHOK
Reference: [PDF-186K]Oct 2002
Abstract: …Thyroid cancers risk assessments obtained in the framework of the ICRP recommendations by using the doses derived from thyroid measurements show an excess of observed thyroid cancer cases over the expected number [3]. In this connection the assessment of thyroid doses from inhalation and ingestion of 131I is of interest for a prediction of radiological consequences by the Chernobyl accident….

Title: Estimated long term health effects of the Chernobyl accident
Author: Cardis, E. [International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon (France)]
Reference: Jul 1996 DOE Scientific and Technical Information
Keywords: 56 BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, APPLIED STUDIES ;54 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES; CHERNOBYLSK-4 REACTOR; RADIATION ACCIDENTS; NEOPLASMS; PROBABILISTIC ESTIMATION; HUMAN POPULATIONS; BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS; THYROID; BELARUS; RUSSIAN FEDERATION; UKRAINE; EPIDEMIOLOGY; CESIUM 137
Abstract: …These increases would be difficult to detect epidemiologically against an expected background number of 41500 and 433000 cases of cancer respectively among the two groups. The exposures for populations due to the Chernobyl accident are different in type and pattern from those of the survivors of the atomic bombing of Japan. Thus predictions derived from studies of these populations are uncertain. The extent of the incidence of thyroid cancer was not envisaged. Since only ten years have lapsed since the accident, continued monitoring of the health of the population is essential to assess the public health impact.

doi: 10.1016/S0531-5131(01)00589-1
Keywords: Chernobyl accident; Sasakawa Project; Thyroid cancer; Tissue bank; Telemedicine
Abstract: …A telemedicine program between the Gomel Center and Nagasaki University School of Medicine, and an international cooperative project to establish thyroid cancer tissue banks are also being implemented. It is expected that all these programs have contributed to their original objectives, which were to provide support for the three Republics in their efforts to supply the best medical care for the people affected by the Chernobyl accident.
