[Nuclear risk and thyroid neoplasms in infancy].
Thyroid carcinoma is a disease with low incidence in adult and rare in child. The authors give oncogenic risk factors of the disease and underline environment factors as iodine deficiency and radiation pollution that, as shown in certain world areas, has a strong effect in the epidemiology of this disease. Eventually radiation's are the most important oncogenic risk factors but and adequate iodine prophylactic program can be considered a valid shield to prevent this disease.
