Chernobyl-related thyroid cancer: possible over treatment

Sergei V Jargin

The reliability of early reports of the thyroid cancer (TC) incidence increase after the Chernobyl accident (hereafter accident) was doubted. The mishap gives a case of impressive contrast in analytic quality when the occasion. The ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), coupled with the superficial location of the thyroid gland and iodine deficiency in the area, resulted in the detection of numerous thyroid nodules, while suboptimal quality of histological specimens, insufficient experience with paediatric material and radiation phobia contributed to the overdiagnosis of cancer. The availability of children at schools and preschools for the mass screening explains the TC incidence increase predominantly in this age group.
