Radiation exposure and thyroid cancer: a review.
The association between radiation exposure and the occurrence of thyroid cancer has been well documented, and the two main risk factors for the development of a thyroid cancer are the radiation dose delivered to the thyroid gland and the age at exposure. The risk increases after exposure to a mean dose of more than 0.05-0.1 Gy (50-100mGy). The risk is more important during childhood and decreas...
متن کاملIschemic Heart Disease in Workers at Mayak PA: Latency of Incidence Risk after Radiation Exposure
We present an updated analysis of incidence and mortality from atherosclerotic induced ischemic heart diseases in the cohort of workers at the Mayak Production Association (PA). This cohort constitutes one of the most important sources for the assessment of radiation risk. It is exceptional because it comprises information on several other risk factors. While most of the workers have been expos...
متن کاملThyroid Neoplasia
Phvsiological Chemistry of Lipids in Mamumals by Edward J. Masoro is the first of a series of short monographs designed "not only to introduce the student to the fundamentals of biochemistry but also to show how these biochemical principles apply to various areas of mammalian physiology and pathology." The goal is not attained. The first 179 pages present the chemistry of fatty acids, steroids,...
متن کاملPapillary Thyroid Cancer in Childhood and Adolescence with Specific Consideration of Patients After Radiation Exposure
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in children and adolescents is a medical problem that attracts attention of investigators and clinicians primarily because of the high incidence of this malignancy in individuals exposed to radioactive isotopes of iodine in case of nuclear reactor emergencies. New facts uncovered by various research groups make it possible to see the clinical and pathological p...
متن کاملThyroid cancer after exposure to external radiation: a pooled analysis of seven studies.
The thyroid gland of children is especially vulnerable to the carcinogenic action of ionizing radiation. To provide insights into various modifying influences on risk, seven major studies with organ doses to individual subjects were evaluated. Five cohort studies (atomic bomb survivors, children treated for tinea capitis, two studies of children irradiated for enlarged tonsils, and infants irra...
