Description
Summary:In the largest series of thyroid cancers identified through systematic screening of children and adolescents from Belarus who were exposed to radioactive iodine from fallout after the Chernobyl accident in 1986, radiation doses to the thyroid gland are associated with histopathologic features of tumor aggressiveness, a higher probability of multifocal cancers, and a higher probability of solid and diffuse sclerosing variants of thyroid cancer pathology.
