Abstract: The T-cell receptor mutant frequency (TCR-Mf) was measured in 53 young adults, who were treated with radioiodine for thyroid cancer. Patients came from the southern part of Belarus. This region had suffered the most from the Chernobyl Disaster. TCR-Mf was determined by flow cytometry before and after 1 to maximal 10 treatments. Before treatment, TCR-Mf of patients was 2.0×10−4. This Mf value is in the same range as that of young healthy students. After radioiodine therapy (RIT), TCR-Mf increases within about half a year to a maximum…
