Chromosomal studies in peripheral lymphocytes from 63 residents near the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, at ages of 52-63 years old, were performed in 2001-2002. A higher rate of chromosome aberrations was observed in the two contaminated villages, Dolon and Sarjal, compared with the control village, Kokpekti. Moreover, a relationship of frequency of cells with radiation induced chromosome aberrations and the previously estimated exposure dose was observed. Furthermore, apparent nuclear abnormalities (ANA) of thyroid follicular cells were studied in 30 out of 63 residents, who were examined for chromosome aberrations. A higher rate of ANA was also found in the residents in the exposed villages compared with those in the control village. These results suggest radiation effects both on the chromosomes in peripheral lymphocytes and on the follicular cells in the thyroid.

We analysed thyroid cancers which were diagnosed clinically or detected at autopsy during 22 years (1958 to 1979) in a sample of 75, 493 study subjects exposed in Hiroshima belonging to the extended LSS sample of the Radiation Effects Research Foundation. One hundred and twenty-five cases of clinical thyroid cancer (15 in males and 110 in females) were confirmed, giving a crude incidence rate per 100, 000 person-years of 2.7 for males, 12.4 for females and 8.6 for both sexes combined. There was a significant increase of thyroid cancer with increase of atomic bomb radiation dose (thyroid tissue dose based on T65D) in females and in the sexes combined. This tendency was predominant in those exposed at less than 19 years of age. Compared to the control group, the relative risk in the ≥0.50 Gy group was higher at 4.0 for males (not significant) and at 4.3 for females (p <0.01). Latent thyroid cancer was detected in 155 cases or 3.5% (2.5% for males and 4.5% for females) of the 4, 425 cases that came to autopsy during the same period. Compared to the control group, the relative risk in the 50 + rad group was 1.7 for males (not significant), 2.0 for females (p <0.05) and 1.9 for both sexes combined (p <0.05). New data obtained from autopsy cases between 1950 and 1985 have been added.
