title: [General trends in the pathomorphosis of surgical diseases of the thyroid after the Chernobyl catastrophe].
abstract: An analysis is presented of changes in the patterns of surgical pathologies of the thyroid gland that had occurred during the 15-yr follow-up of the Kiev Region representatives operated on in a specialized clinic facility. Increase in the incidence rates of autoimmune Hashimoto's thyroiditis, benign and malignant tumours of the thyroid gland--such were main trends in pathomorphosis of thyroidal pathologies having been noted during the post-ChPP accident years. Increase in the number of cases of carcinoma with concurrent hyperplastic and autoimmune thyroid diseases attests to the need for a comprehensive evaluation of patients presenting with different forms of goiter as well as for their surgical treatment in a timely fashion.
