RADIATION AND THYROID CANCER-AN OVERVIEW

Radiation Protection Dosimetry
Geraldine Thomas

Abstract

It has long been known that the thyroid is a radiosensitive organ. It is the only organ in the body to both take up and bind iodine, and therefore exposure to radioiodine in fallout from nuclear power plants poses an increased danger to the thyroid. Studies following the Chernobyl accident have shown that children are most at risk from the development of thyroid cancer following exposure to radioactive iodine in fallout. This article reviews what we know so far about the type of thyroid cancer induced by radiation, its molecular biology and clinical outcome.
