Forecast text
Following the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident on April 26, 1986, approximately 150,000 cleanup workers (primarily men) living in Ukraine participated in various recovery activities. Since the accident, these individuals were invited for clinical examinations every two (2) years at the National Research Center for Radiation Medicine, Hematology and Oncology (NRCRMHO) in Kiev, Ukraine. Although a population of Ukrainian cleanup workers has been established for many years, there is no cancer cohort with reliable doses estimated for a range of organs. To resolve major questions about cancer mediators, precancer risks and other diseases following protractive exposure to ionizing radiation The Chernobyl Research Program (CRP) at Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI) (CRP/REB/DCEG) and NRCRMHO are constructing the Cleanup Workers Clinical Cohort consisting of 10,965 individuals from which radiation doses may be estimated using a brief survey. Currently information (e.g., vital status, last known address, cancer registry data, and Chernobyl State Registry data) is confirmed through the mail survey for 1,639 from 10,965 individuals. This contract is for the continuation of this activity. Follow-up of this cohort will occur through previously established biannual medical examinations at NRCRMHO and linkage to the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine (NCRU) and the State Chernobyl Registry (SCR).
The specific objective of this contract is to maintain the Cleanup Workers Clinical Cohort by updating the demographic, clinical and epidemiologic data through a mail survey and passive follow-up through linkage to the NCRU and the SCR.
