Thyroid Cancer after Chornobyl: Increased Risk Persists Two Decades after Radioiodine Exposure
During the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear accident, the then-Soviet republic of Ukraine was hit hard with iodine-131 fallout. Since then, numerous studies have demonstrated a relationship between I-131 exposure from Chornobyl and thyroid cancer risk. Much of the published research, however, has relied on grouped radiation dose estimates rather than individual estimates of radiation exposure. Now a new ...
متن کاملSubclinical Hypothyroidism after Radioiodine Exposure: Ukrainian–American Cohort Study of Thyroid Cancer and Other Thyroid Diseases after the Chornobyl Accident (1998–2000)
BACKGROUND Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid abnormality in patients treated with high doses of iodine-131 (131I). Data on risk of hypothyroidism from low to moderate 131I thyroid doses are limited and inconsistent. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to quantify the risk of hypothyroidism prevalence in relation to 131I doses received because of the Chornobyl accident. METHODS This i...
متن کاملDecades after cancer, suicide risk remains high.
After seemingly successful treatment, the price of surviving cancer for some people is so high that the risk of attempting suicide, succeeding at it, or having suicidal thoughts remains elevated for decades, according to two new studies. This research demonstrates that mental health counseling, along with physical care, is a must for some, if not all, long-term survivors, say the authors. And t...
متن کاملAcute leukemias after treatment with radioiodine for thyroid cancer.
Leukemia is an uncommon complication of exposure to radioiodine (131I), used in treatment of thyroid cancer, because low doses are now used. We report two cases of acute myelogenous leukemia developed after the treatment of a thyroid carcinoma with a small dose of 131I.
متن کاملSperm DNA fragmentation after radioiodine treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer
BACKGROUND Treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer usually consists of a total thyroidectomy followed by one or several courses of radioiodine ((131)I). (131)I is known to have deleterious effects on radiation sensitive tissues and irradiation to the testes has been shown after its administration. We investigated effects of such treatment on sperm DNA in a patient with differentiated thyroid...
