Olsztyn region (in the north of Poland) was classified as an iodine deficiency area with moderate endemic goiter prevalence. Following Chernobyl accident, the population had one of the highest radiation doses affecting thyroid. Aims of the study were to estimate the incidence of thyroid cancer and to determine its histopathological type. The register was carried out in Olsztyn region population including each newly diagnosed case of thyroid cancer in the calendar year. The personal data of patients were collected and processed on in computer. The incidence rate was calculated as the number of newly diagnosed cases in the calendar year per 100,000 inhabitants dependent on sex and age. The results were statistically evaluated. 242 newly diagnosed cases of thyroid cancer were registered including 8 young patients (up to 18 years of age) and 234 adults. The increase in the number of cancer cases was observed year by year. The predominant type of thyroid cancer was papillary carcinoma--66.8%. Follicular carcinoma constituted 17% of cases. A statistically significant increase of incidence rate was observed in women--from 2.8/100,000 to 11.1/100,000.
奥尔什丁地区（位于波兰北部）被归类为碘缺乏地区，地方性甲状腺肿患病率中等。切尔诺贝利事故后，该地区居民受到的甲状腺辐射剂量在全球处于高位。本研究旨在估算甲状腺癌的发病率，并确定其组织病理学类型。研究在奥尔什丁地区开展，记录该地区日历年内每一例新诊断的甲状腺癌病例。收集患者的个人数据并录入计算机进行处理。发病率的计算方式为日历年内每10万居民中，新诊断病例的数量，并按性别和年龄进行区分。对结果进行统计学评估。共记录了242例新诊断的甲状腺癌病例，其中包括8例年轻患者（18岁及以下）和234例成年患者。癌症病例数量逐年增加。甲状腺癌的主要类型为乳头状癌，占66.8%。滤泡状癌占病例总数的17%。女性的发病率有统计学意义的显著上升，从每10万人2.8例升至每10万人11.1例。
