Genomic Analysis Distinguishes Thyroid Cancers Caused by Radiation
Genomic features in papillary thyroid carcinoma can identify tumors that were caused by ionizing radiation from the 1986 Chornobyl accident, distinguishing them from radiation‑independent cases.
The authors note the importance of their discovery to improve understanding of the true burden of cancer following ionizing radiation from occupational, medical, and environmental exposures.
