TL;DR: This work focuses on the direct epidemiological assessment of the risks of radiation-induced leukaemia and thyroid cancer in emergency workers (EW) after the Chernobyl accident, using data from the Russian National Medical Dosimetric Registry as of January 1, 1996.

TL;DR: It has been shown that since 1991 the age structure of the incidence has changed significantly with a growing proportion of cases among children and adolescents, and the standardised incidence ratio (SIR) of thyroid cancer among children who were 0-4 years at exposure in 1991-6 was 6 to 10 times higher than among adults.

TL;DR: The incidence of CVD has revealed a statistically significant dose response with the lack of a latent period and with the average ERR Gy−1, and is statistically significantly associated with all studied concomitant diseases.

TL;DR: An analysis of the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CeVD) in the cohort of Russian workers involved in recovery tasks after the Chernobyl accident reveals a statistically significant dose response with the lack of a latent period and with the average ERR/Gy.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the current levels of morbidity from cancers among the populations residing in the studied areas were primarily a result of a complex of factors which predated the exposure from the Chernobyl accident, but there seems to be an unfavourable trend concerning malignant neoplasms of the respiratory organs for women resided in the contaminated areas.
