Fukushima survey lists 12 confirmed, 15 suspected thyroid cancer cases
FUKUSHIMA, Japan, June 5, Kyodo

An ongoing study on the impact of radiation on Fukushima residents from the crippled atomic power plant has found 12 minors with confirmed thyroid cancer diagnoses, up from three in a report in February, with 15 others suspected to have cancer, up from seven, sources familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

The figures were taken from about 174,000 people aged 18 or younger whose initial thyroid screening results have been confirmed so far.

Researchers at Fukushima Medical University, which has been taking the leading role in the study, have so far said they do not believe that the most recent cases are related to the nuclear crisis. They point out that thyroid cancer cases were not found among children hit by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident until four to five years later.
