Abstract excerpt
After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, a dramatic 131I-related increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer has been reported in exposed children. However, little is known about the eventual genotoxic effects of 131I in exposed humans. Thyroid cancer patients are usually treated with 131I and, therefore, they provide us with an opportunity to study cytogenetic damage induced by known doses of this radionuclide....
