The article considers the possibility of the use of current infrastructure of specialized population registers of Ukraine to study leukemia and other systemic blood diseases revealed in Chernobyl accident liquidators. 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. To solve issues on leukemia and other oncological diseases is recommended to use in complex data of specialized registers of Ukraine. It should be also taken into account necessity of using late registered cases and verifying registered diagnoses.

Republican Scientific Centre for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology, Illich, 290, Gomel 246040, Belarus.
Background: The increase of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) rate among children who were exposed to post-Chernobyl 131-I release was reported only four years after the accident, first in Belarus where the heaviest fallout happened. The evolution of the occurrence of thyroid carcinoma based on the age-period-cohort analysis and the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on time trends aimed to reveal if post-Chernobyl follicular cells irradiation still has been impacting on incidence rate of papillary thyroid carcinoma nowadays.
Methods: The Belarusian Cancer Registry was used to identify patients with PTC diagnosed during the years 1980-2019.

Environmental contamination can have lasting impacts on surrounding communities, though the long-term impacts can be difficult to ascertain. The disaster at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 and subsequent remediation efforts resulted in contamination of the local environment with radioactive material, heavy metals, and additional environmental toxicants. Many of these are mutagenic in nature, and the full effect of these exposures on local flora and fauna has yet to be understood.

Unlabelled: Problem of the causal relationship of disease that became the reason of death with the effect of ionizing radiation and due to harmful influence of the Chornobyl Catastrophe during performance of professional, military or official duties and / or living on radiation-contaminated areas, additional exposure not through their own fault but due to a radiation accident, caused the development of a special form of medical expertise as part of the of medical social protection system for suffered contingents in the remote postaccidental period.
Objective: To study and characterize the structure of the survivor categories (clean-up workers and victims) of the Chernobyl Catastrophe in the remote post-accident period (2013-2024) regarding the causal relationship of disease that became the reason of death with the effect of ionizing radiation and due to harmful influence of the Chornobyl Catastrophe based on the materials of expert cases of the Central Interdepartmental Expert Commission of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (CIEC).
Material And Methods: The work was performed in the design of a retrospective study that based on analysis of the structure of all categories of Chornobyl NPP accident (ChNPP) survivors during 2008-2024 years and studying of 58,137 medical expert cases, including 19,524 postmortem cases, which were considered by CIEC during 2013-2023 to establish a causal relationship between the disease and influence of radiation exposure and other harmful factors and conditions during ChNPP accident.
