Approaches for studying radiation-induced leukemia

Abstract: According to the conclusion of the International Programme on the Health Effects of the Chernobyl Accident (IPHECA) Haematology Pilot Project (1991-1995), there was no increase in the incidence of malignant disease in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues after the Chernobyl accident. Nevertheless, since studies of A-bomb survivors indicate that the peak in morbidity may occur more than 10 years after radiation exposure, long-term studies of hemoblastoses and myelodysplastic syndromes are needed today. Study of t… Show more

“…Cancers, and in particular leukemias seem to represent the most serious effects of the exposure to ionizing radiation. Meanwhile, the question as to whether the incidence of leukemias and malignant lymphomas among 260,807 Ukrainian clean-up workers of 1986 and 43,366 of 1987 (average doses of 14.0 cGy in 1986 and 9.0 cGy in 1987) has increased in the 25 years since the catastrophe is still a point of much controversy [1][2][3][4][5][6] .…”

“…Nevertheless, the number of MDS cases in this study was too small to draw firm conclusions [21]. In 1996-1997, based on our preliminary data, we have assumed that different forms of MDS might originate in the persons suffered from the Chernobyl disaster, in particular in young people [22,23]. Subsequently, in several studies of leukemia among clean-up workers in Ukraine, Russian Federation, and Belarus, the cases of MDS have been delineated.…”

“…It is now generally accepted that among oncologic diseases, only thyroid cancer in persons who were children and adolescents at the time of the Chornobyl accident was caused by the eff ect of radioactive iodine [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. As for the infl uence of radiation on the development of hematologic neoplasms, there is no convincing evidence to date [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The report of the United Nations Scientifi c Committee on the Eff ects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) generally states that there is no traceable link between the eff ect of ionizing radiation and the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma [15].…”

“…Наразі вважається загальновизнаним, що серед онкологічних хвороб лише рак щитоподібної залози в осіб, які були дітьми та підлітками на час аварії на ЧАЕС, спричинений впливом радіоактивного йоду [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Що ж стосується впливу радіації на розвиток гематологічних неоплазій, то переконливих доказів до цього часу немає [9][10][11][12][13][14]. В доповіді Наукового комітету ООН з оцінки впливу радіації взагалі сказано, що не прослідковується зв'язку між дією йонізуючого опромінення та розвитком негоджкінських лімфом (НГЛ) і множинної мієломи [15].…”
