Thyroid Cancer and Nuclear Accidents: Long-Term Aftereffects of Chernobyl and Fukushima discusses the radiobiological effects of the release of radioiodine from two nuclear power plant accidents and appropriate interpretation of the results of thyroid ultrasound examination. The book pulls together expert opinion on radiation related thyroid cancer in an understandable manner, even for non thyroidologists.

The book explains what has been learned from both accidents in relation to prevention of thyroid cancer following nuclear power plant accidents. The book encompasses topics such as risk estimations of thyroid cancer following nuclear accidents and clinical aspects after those specific situations. Additionally, it discusses in detail the reports from Fukushima related to thyroid cancer in the population. This book is a valuable resource for oncologists and biomedical researchers with interest in nuclear accidents and cancer cases.

• Offers an overview of the major cancer reports from the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters
• Encompasses authoritative data and interpretation of the thyroid screening program in Japan
• Presents the content in a didactic way to help readers interpret and explain the topic to non-experts
• Discusses risk estimations of thyroid cancer following nuclear accidents

Table of contents: 

Part I: Overview – Keynote Lectures

These chapters provide a broad overview and comparative analysis of thyroid cancer risks related to radiation exposure from Chernobyl and Fukushima, with emphasis on:

1. UNSCEAR reports on thyroid cancer risks.

2. Japanese studies confirming increased childhood thyroid cancer.

3. Broader comparison from Chernobyl to Fukushima.

4. The Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS) and its insights on attributing pediatric thyroid cancer to radiation.

Part II: Chernobyl +30

A detailed exploration of thyroid cancer research and clinical follow-up 30 years after the Chernobyl accident, with contributions from Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Highlights include:

• Histopathology, treatment, and long-term outcomes in Belarus.

• Clinical monitoring of pediatric patients.

• Data from the Ukrainian-American Cohort Study.

• Insights on radiation influence vs. ultrasound screening effects.

• Genetic studies on somatic mutations in thyroid cancers.

Part III: Fukushima +5

This section explores research findings and health surveillance five years after the Fukushima accident, with emphasis on:

• Thyroid dose estimations.

• Ultrasound examination results and characteristics of diagnosed cases.

• The psychosocial impact of screening.

• Issues of overdiagnosis, with comparison to Korea and Japan’s management strategies.
