[Thyroid pathomorphology in children of the Republic of Byelarus subjected to radiation exposure as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
Early and late effects of short-living iodine isotopes on the thyroid of children in Byelarus are described. Early effects manifested with an increase in the thyroid functional activity in children up to one year of age during 1986. Follicular cell hypertrophy is considered as a marker of the radiation effect at a dose level from 0.1 to 1 krad. Late effects are thyroid carcinomas the incidence of which in the country rose ten-fold within the last 5 years.
