Abstract

Recent nuclear explosion in Japan led to a great concern regarding its detrimental effects on health. As obtained data imply the increased risk of thyroid cancer, the prevention is widely suggested. Also the adverse effect of leaked radioactive elements can lead to non-malignant thyroid disease, which is neglected. In this article, non-malignant thyroid disease after exposure to radioactive elements during nuclear explosion was reviewed and discussed.
