Abstract
Systematic epidemiological studies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors have made substantial contributions to the understanding of radiation effects on human health. A recent study of atomic bomb survivors reported that an increased risk of thyroid cancer associated with childhood exposure might have persisted for more than 50 years after exposure. In analyses of non-cancer thyroid diseases, several cross-sectional studies, including the latest study focusing on survivors exposed in childhood, suggested that the risk of thyroid nodules increased, while risks of thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity were not apparent several decades after radiation exposure. However, careful interpretations are needed because only limited data from cross-sectional studies are available. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to improve our understanding of the effect of radiation on the thyroid and its function.
