Joint analysis of thyroid cancer incidence in Bryansk, Kaluga, Oryol and Tula oblasts from 1981 through 2008 was made for the first time. The average size of population of the oblasts in those years was 5.1 million people. According to data of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry 9120 thyroid cancer cases were detected for that period. Mean-rayon thyroid doses were used for the analysis. Affected rayons of Bryansk, Kaluga, Oryol and Tula oblasts were arranged into 4 groups in accordance with radiation dose:
chernobyl accident
\ territory contaminated with radionuclides
\ population
\ thyroid cancer
\ incidence of disease
\ crude incidence rate
\ standardized incidence ratio
\ excess relative risk
