Before the introduction of mandatory salt iodination in 1997 the North-Eastern Region of Poland was known to be a moderate iodine deficiency area. It was also exposed to ionizing radiation after the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the descriptive epidemiological features of incident thyroid cancers diagnosed among the residents of this area between 1996 and 2007. The Regional Cancer Surveillance Program was used to collect data on 834 n...

TIAR and TIA-1 are two closely related RNA-binding proteins, which possess three RNA recognition motifs (RMMs). These proteins are involved in several mechanisms of RNA metabolism, including regulation of mRNA translation. In cellular apoptosis continuously TIAR shuttled between the cytoplasm and nucleus.The aim of this study was to estimate expression of closely related mRNA binding proteins TIAR and TIA-1 in thyroid tissues from young patients with Gra...

Before the introduction of mandatory salt iodination in 1997 the North-Eastern Region of Poland was known to be a moderate iodine deficiency area. Moreover, it was one of the mostly contaminated regions after the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The aim of our study was to evaluate the descriptive epidemiological features of incident thyroid cancers diagnosed among the residents of this area between 1996 and 2005. The Regional Cancer Surveillance Program was used to collect data on...
