Implement the Screening Program Sample Clauses

Implement the Screening Program. One of the most important accomplishments of the CCIP was the number of children screened. As of August 17, 2002, a total of 116,655 adolescent children had been screened for thyroid cancer. They had 118,503 ultrasound examinations and 115,191 examinations by the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) in the five target oblasts. A summary of screening activity through the end of the Program is provided in Table One.

Of these children, eight were operated on successfully and one suspected thyroid cancer case from Rivne is scheduled for surgery. The incidence of nine children with thyroid cancer among 116,655 screened, or 1:12,962 screened is over 75 times higher than the 1 child per million per year among populations not exposed to nuclear fallout. Of the eight confirmed cases, all had papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the form of thyroid cancer reported to be associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. The diagnosis of PTC was confirmed at surgery in five cases and by fine needle aspiration biopsy in one. The patients were known to have been exposed to radiation. In two additional cases, the diagnosis of PTC was confirmed at surgery, but there was no confirmed exposure to radioactive iodine. One was born two years after the Chornobyl accident and the second patient was born in Russia and lived only four miles from a nuclear power plant. In Table 2, the number of thyroid abnormalities are identified. The thyroid is considered abnormal when an ultrasound image shows a solitary thyroid nodule, multiple thyroid nodules, or other deformities such as diffuse enlargement, absent lobe, ectopic location of the thyroid or unusual shape of the gland. Of particular interest to the CCIP was the number of children with single (solitary) and multiple nodules. Endocrinologists suggest that those nodules less than 10 mm in diameter may be early, o...
