Abstract: Assessment of incidence and mortality for thyroid cancers carried out for the Belarusian population is described in the present report. It is found that in the period of 1987-2000 about 4,400 radiation-induced thyroid cancers appeared in Belarus: 692 cancers among children and 3,709 cancers among adolescents and adults. …

Abstract: Neither the editorial1 nor the three articles*RF 2-4* relating to the Chernobyl reactor accident make more than a passing mention to the one major increase in malignancy that has so far been identified – namely, the greatly increased incidence of childhood thyroid cancer in the exposed population of southern Belarus, which was first reported in 1992.5,6 The pathology was documented in 1993,7 the relation to the disaster has been reviewed,8 and the paradox that isotopes of iodine may be carcinogenic to the thyroid in normal children depite their safety in adults with Graves’ disease has been discussed….

Abstract: We wish to report on a meeting of scientists from the three countries most closely affected by the accident at Chernobyl and from the World Health Organisation to review the programme of screening for and diagnosis of childhood thyroid cancer undertaken since the accident in April 1986. While the central purpose of the screening programme was humanitarian, during the review some of the information compiled was deemed to be of scientific interest.

Abstract: The letter from representatives of the World Health Organisation and the three countries most affected by the accident at Chernobyl—Belarus, Russia, and the Ukraine—draws attention to the increasing number of thyroid tumours in children exposed to fallout from the accident. We endorse the comment that an international response to this unprecedented event is needed. Different countries have already reacted, and at least eight international actions on this issue are currently going on around the world. I wish to give some impression of the many international and bilateral efforts to provide medical help for the people affected by the Chernobyl accident, in addition to the …

Abstract: The Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident happened on April 26, 1986. We investigated the cause of the striking increase in frequency of thyroid cancer in children who lived within a 150 km radius of Chernobyl and who were born before and after the accident. No thyroid cancer was seen in 9472 children born in 1987–89, whereas one and 31 thyroid cancers were recorded in 2409 children born April 27, 1986, to Dec 31, 1986, and 9720 born Jan 1, 1983, to April 26, 1986, respectively. Short-lived radioactive fallout caused by the Chernobyl accident probably induced thyroid cancer in children living near Chernobyl.

Abstract: Data on thyroid cancer cases operated in the period 1986–1999 among those born in Belarus and in Ukraine during the period 1968–1985 are analysed. Whereas the dependence of the total number of thyroid cancer cases on time after exposure is similar in the two countries, there are obvious differences in the dependencies on age at operation and on age at exposure.

Abstract: According to the data of the clinico-morphological register of the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Ukraine, for the post-Chernobyl period in Ukraine (1986–2000), 472 cases of thyroid cancer have been reported in children who have been operated at the age of up to 15 years, among which, 431 were born before the Chernobyl accident, 11 were “in utero” at the time of the accident, and 30 were born after the Chernobyl accident. The largest number of cases (57) has been reported in 1996, which made up 0.57 per 100 000 children aged 0–14, and exceeded by 11.4 times the average pre-Chernobyl incidence rate (0.05) in this age group. The highest incidence rate has been reported in six regions of Ukraine which have been the most contaminated by iodine radionuclides (Kiev, Chernigov, Zhitomir, Rovno, Cherkassy regions, and Kiev City). …
