Worrying Fukushima thyroid cancer news..

10/8/2015

The question of whether the Fukushima nuclear power plant tsunami disaster has or will cause more cases of thyroid cancer remains unanswered, but a recent report may be evidence of a small tide of such cancers. 
Its now getting coverage in the mainstream press .
The report looks far from conclusive as yet, with issues such as timing (perhaps cases appearing a bit earlier than expected after the exposure to radioactivity), and the lack of data on what exposure the patients had to radioactivity, but its the first signs of a potential effect.
