Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk of breast cancer in women who were pregnant or lactating during the Chornobyl disaster's radioactive fallout, using a cohort of 2,631 women.
- Of the follow-up period of 37,151 person-years, 26 cases of breast cancer were identified, and the standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to compare these cases to general population rates.
- The findings suggest no significant increase in breast cancer risk for women pregnant (SIR = 0.75) or lactating (SIR = 0.96) at the time of the accident, although there was a non-significant elevation for those lactating at the time of the disaster (SIR = 1

Methods: Statistical, mathematical, cartographic.
Unlabelled: The study presents the updated data on the multiple myeloma (MM) incidence in Ukrainian cleanup workers after the Chornobyl accident and their survival. The epidemiological analysis is based on the extended follow-up period to identify new MM cases for higher statistical power and to collect additional data on the disease course and outcome for the survival analysis. The objective of the study was to analyze the MM incidence and survival in Chornobyl cleanup workers in 1996-2013 in comparison with the national MM statistical data.

Advantage and limitation of such registers in the use are discussed in the article. Ukrainian state register of people who suffered from Chernobyl accident and Ukrainian national cancer registers are the largest population registers in the country, which cover all the territory of Ukraine and contain information on each individual and may serve as source base for epidemiological studies.
