Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Childhood and Adolescence with Specific Consideration of Patients After Radiation Exposure
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 peculiarities of these tumours in a new light and suggest that the aetiology can modify the biological behaviour of PTC. In particular, relative monomorphism of the structure of post-Chernobyl cancers was detected and morphology varies depending on the patients’ age and the time of radiation exposure (LiVolsi et al., 2011).
