Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) etiologically occurs as a radiation-induced or sporadic
malignancy. Genetic factors contributing to the susceptibility to either form remain unknown …

The study investigated an association between the germline polymorphism at TP53 codon
72 and the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) following exposure to radiation …

The question whether radiation-induced thyroid cancer differs by its molecular biology from
sporadic disease still remains. Studies on tissue from patients who developed thyroid cancer …

Background: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) incidence increased dramatically in children
after the Chernobyl accident, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the molecular …

Background: Radiation is the only clear etiologic agent for differentiated thyroid cancer
(DTC). Understanding the factors affecting sensitivity to gamma radiation and susceptibility …

Background: Following exposure to radiation during the Chernobyl fallout tragedy, papillary
thyroid carcinoma (PTC) increased significantly in individuals who were children at the time …

Papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) incidence dramatically increased in the vicinity of
Chernobyl. The cancer-initiating role of radiation elsewhere is debated. Therefore, we …

Induced Gene Signature Distinguishes Post-Chernobyl from Sporadic Papillary Thyroid …

A dramatic increase in the incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) after childhood
exposure to ionizing radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear accident has been described as …

INTRODUCTION The 1986 Chernobyl (Chornobyl in Ukrainian) nuclear power plant
accident exposed millions of individuals in the surrounding region to radioactive …
