Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of the basal calcitonin (CTb) determination in the early postoperative period to predict the possible recurrence (persistence) of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Material And Methods: A retrospective study of the treatment results in 194 patients with MTC (148 (76.3%) primary - group 1 and 46 (23.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to analyze and identify the main predictors that may indicate multifocal growth of PTC.

Materials And Methods: The main and control groups included patients with the category of malignant multifocal process T1-3mN0Mx (n=109) and unifocal T1-T3N0Mx (n=50) respectively, who underwent thyroidectomy with lymphadenectomy.Ultrasound characteristics of the nodes, tissue changes of the thyroid gland were taken into account.

Unlabelled: The aim of this work was to analyze the relationship between polymorphisms of DNA repair gene XPD Lys751Gln and frequency and spectrum of chromosome aberrations in the culture of peripheral blood lymphocytes of thyroid cancer (TC) patients having been exposed to ionizing radiation due to the Chornobyl accident.

Materials And Methods: XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction in 102 TC patients including 38 patients exposed to ionizing radiation due to Chornobyl disaster (Chornobyl recovery workers, evacuees, and the residents of contaminated areas), 64 patients without history of ionizing radiation exposure and 45 healthy residents of Ukraine as control group.

Results: In homozygous carriers of the minor allele XPD Gln751Gln, exposed to ionizing radiation, the significantly increased risk of TC (odds ratio = 3.

Objective: The objective of this work was to determine and compare the features of DNA repair gene XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms in patients with thyroid cancer (TC), who were exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) as a result of the Chornobyl disaster, and in patients without exposure to ionizing radiation in history.

Materials And Methods: Determination of gene XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 102 patients with thyroid cancer: 38 people, who were exposed to ionizing radiation due to Chornobyl disaster (members of the accident, and evacuees and residents from controlled areas contaminated with radionuclides), 64 individuals without exposure to ionizing radiation in history and 41 persons residents of Ukraine without cancer pathology in the control group. For comparison of the data on spontaneous and radiation-associated thyroid cancer and settlement of allele frequencies differences and risk of cancer pathology were used the literature data on control groups of populations of Russia, Belarus and Poland.
