Abstract | |||
"""We plan to evaluate feasibility (both technical and logistical) of conducting molecular studies of radiation-related post-Chernobyl thyroid cancer in Belarus using biological materials stored in the Belarussian Tissue Bank. We will work together with colleagues from the Belarusian Medical Academy of Post-Graduate Education to create an electronic inventory of samples and data stored in the BTB as well as to evaluate its quality. If successful, this study will be extended to actual testing of tissue samples to identify molecular changes related to past radiation exposure.""" |
