TL;DR: For example, a dramatic increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer has been observed among those exposed to radioactive iodines in childhood and adolescence in the most contaminated territories, while prolonged stable iodine supplementation in the years after exposure may reduce this risk as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The doses were calculated in a stochastic mode, thus providing estimates of uncertainties, and the arithmetic mean individual bone marrow doses were found to range from 0.00004 to 3,300 mGy, with an average value of 87 mGy over the 572 study subjects.

TL;DR: The design, procedures, outcome of case finding and confirmation, control selection, dose estimation and interviewing of subjects are described, and a new time-and-motion method known as RADRUE described in companion paper II.

TL;DR: A significant difference of thyroid cancer incidence rates as a function of time between the two territories was found and the observed probable excess of radiation-induced thyroid cancer cases in adults exposed to radioactive iodine from the Chernobyl accident may be due to the high power of the present study.

TL;DR: To monitor other possible late effects of radiation exposure in Chornobyl cleanup workers, analytical cohort and case-control studies need to include cardiovascular pathology, specifically types of potentially radiogenic cancers using a molecular epidemiology approach.
