Cancer disease of persons who were taking part in liquidation of Chernobyl accident consequences

Description

In 2001 in the Byelorussian state register of the persons who have undergone influence of radiation owing to accident on the Chernobyl atomic power station, was 75330 persons. All of them have influenced by ionising radiations. Among the persons who were taking part in liquidation of consequences of Chernobyl accident, for the period of 1993-2001 registered 2824 first time revealed cases of cancer. 2206 (78,1 %) from them - among men. 72,8 % cases of all kind of cancer were diagnosed among the persons who were taking part in liquidation of consequences of accident on Chernobyl NPP within the limits of a zone of evacuation in 1986-87 years. All localizations cancer disease of liquidators totally, including bladder and a thyroid cancer, authentically is higher than disease of the population of control group. At this moment outstripping growth of cancer disease with separate localizations among liquidators in our opinion, grows out because of the combined influence of ionizing radiations and a complex of not radiating factors that have social, psychological and anthropogenous origin
