Abstract | |||
"""Although radiation exposure is an important predictor of thyroid cancer, the relationship between childhood radiation exposure and thyroid nodules or other benign thyroid conditions has not been comprehensively evaluated. The objective of this study is to examine the association between internal I-131 thyroid radiation dose and incidence and progression of thyroid nodules in young adults exposed during childhood.""" |
