BMU - 2005 - 668 Thyroid Exposure in Belorussian and Ukrainian Children after the Chernobyl Accident and Resulting Risk of Thyroid Cancer (in englischer Sprache)

- Schriftenreihe Reaktorsicherheit und Strahlenschutz -

Main objectives of the BfS Project StSch4240 Thyroid Exposure of Belarusian and Ukrainian Children due to the Chernobyl Accident and Resulting Thyroid Cancer Risk were:

• to establish improved estimates of average thyroid dose for both genders and for each birth-year cohort of the period 1968 - 1985 in Ukrainian and Belarusian settlements, in which more than 10 measurements of the ¹³¹I activity in the human thyroid have been performed in May/June1986
  
  
• to explore, whether this dosimetric database can be extended to neighboring settlements
  
  
• to establish improved estimates of average thyroid dose for both genders and for each birth-year cohort of the period 1968 - 1985 in Ukrainian and Belarusian oblasts (regions) and larger cities
  
  
• to document the thyroid cancer incidence for the period 1986 – 2001 in Ukraine and Belarus and describe morphological characteristics of the cancer cases
  
  
• to assess the contribution of the baseline incidence to the total thyroid cancer incidence in the two countries and identify regional and temporal dependencies
  
  
• to perform analyses of excess risks in settlements
