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…

Abstract: The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) increases significantly after exposure of the head and neck region to ionizing radiation, yet we know neither the steps involved in malignant transformation of thyroid epithelium nor the specific carcinogenic mode of action of radiation. Such increased tumor frequency became most evident in children after the 1986 nuclear accident in Chernobyl, Ukraine. …To study the etiology of radiation-induced thyroid cancer, we formed an international consortium to investigate chromosomal changes and altered gene expression in cases of post-Chernobyl chPTC. Our approach is based on karyotyping of primary cultures established from chPTC specimens, establishment of cell lines and studies of genotype-phenotype relationships through high resolution chromosome analysis, DNA/cDNA micro-array studies, and mouse xenografts that test for tumorigenicity….
