Fukushima Medical University has published new thyroid cancer data from its ongoing screening study of children exposed to radioactive contamination from the March 2011 reactor meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. The results, according to a new article by Dr. Alex Rosen, co-chair of IPPNW-Germany, show a disturbing increase in the number of thyroid cancer cases, and increased numbers of nodules and cysts in the thyroid glands of children participating in the screenings.
