Geographical analysis of thyroid cancer in young people from northern England: Evidence for a sustained excess in females in Cumbria
European Journal of Cancer, 05/12/09

Magnanti BL et al. - For males, the ASR was 0.6 per million person-years during the pre-Chernobyl period (1968–1986), and was 1.8 per million person-years during the post-Chernobyl period (1987–2005). For females, the ASR was 2.4 pre-Chernobyl and was 3.9 post-Chernobyl. The previously noted excess in Cumbria was entirely confined to females. These findings may be consistent with sex-specific differences in susceptibility to an environmental exposure, such as fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
