Objective
This project will form an internationally supported collaborative research resource for many groups working on the health effects of the Chernobyl accident. The basis of the project is a collaborative approach to the collection and documentation of specimens of thyroid tumour from those who were under 19 at exposure. It will provide an internationally agreed pathological diagnosis for each specimen and make nucleic acid available to researchers world-wide. The project will provide a valuable research tool for future researchers interested in the mechanism of radiation tumour genesis as well as providing data for assessment of radiological risk.
The objectives of the project are to promote collaboration and avoid competition for a very valuable but limited resource; to properly document in a uniform manner pathological specimens and to collect blood samples from those exposed as children to radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident, who subsequently develop thyroid tumours; to provide aliquots of nucleic acid extracted from thyroid tumour, normal thyroid and blood from these cases to the worldwide scientific community for research; to collate and record data on a case by case basis from scientific projects which have access to material; and to provide a database which permits later multifactorial analysis for each case. This project will provide improved data for radiation risk assessment as well as data on the link between radiation exposure, molecular biology of thyroid cancer, clinical outcome and treatment of the disease.
