Radiation is an environmental factor that elevates the risk of developing thyroid cancer.
Actual and possible scenarios of exposures to external and internal radiation are multiple …

Thyroid cancer is a rare and complex disease and the thyroid contains various cell types
from which specific diseases arise. The malignancies range from indolent to extremely …

The thyroid gland is one of the most radiosensitive human organs. While it is well known that
radiation exposure increases the risk of thyroid cancer, less is known about its effects in …

Although external radiation is a well-known cause of human thyroid cancer, the risk from
exposure of the thyroid gland to internal radiation is not well defined. This is of practical …

The increase in risk for late-onset thyroid cancer due to radiation exposure is a potential
health effect after a nuclear power plant accident mainly due to the release of radioiodine in …

The purpose of this review is to provide an account of our present knowledge about the
epidemiology of nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma, to discuss the effects of environment …

The available information on the induction of thyroid cancer in humans by ionizing radiation
is summarized and weaknesses or gaps in assessing risk are identified. Issues to be …

As we enter the next millennium, perhaps it is time to pause and ask what more can be
learned about the adverse effects from excessive exposure to ionizing radiation. Ionizing …

Radiation exposure is the only known etiologic factor clearly associated with an increased
risk of thyroid cancer. External beam radiation treatment for medical therapy, acute gamma …

Exposure of the human thyroid to external irradiation is directly related to subsequent
development of thyroid nodules and cancer. There is probably no threshold dose; even 7 …
