Abstract: A large increase of the thyroid cancer incidence among those who were children at the time of the accident was observed in Belarus and in Ukraine (Kazakov V.S. et al., 1992; Likhtarev I.A. et al., 1995). The increase in Belarus among those who were younger than 18 years at the time of the accident started in 1989 with a linear rise to about 140 cases per year in 1994 and then staying up to 1996 (the last date of published data) on a constant level (Buglova E. et al., 1997). A case-control study indicated a strong relationship between thyroid cancer and estimated radiation dose from the Chernobyl accident (Astakova L.N. et al., 1998). An aggregate study of the thyroid cancer after Chernobyl has shown the large potential of such studies for deriving quantitative information on the cancer risk due to 131I incorporation
