12 children developed thyroid cancer and 15 children with suspected cancer甲状腺がん「確定」12人 がんの疑い15人。 Tokyo Newspaper on 5/6/13



(Abstract translation by Mia)
東京電力福島第一原発事故による放射線の影響を調べている福島県の県民健康管理調査で、十八歳以下で甲状腺がんの診断が「確定」した人が九人増え十二人に、「がんの疑い」は十五人になった。(これまで一次検査の結果が確定した約十七万四千人の内訳)
Fukushima Health Management Survey Team announced that 12 children under 18 years old developed thyroid cancer and 15 children with suspected to develop it.  (So far 174,000 out of 360,000 children were examined.)
これまで調査主体の福島県立医大は、チェルノブイリ原発事故によるがんが見つかったのが、事故の四~五年後以降だったとして「放射線の影響は考えられない」と説明している。
Fukushima Medical University denies the relation to the effect of the Fukushima fallout, saying that it was 4 to 5 years in the case of the Chernobyl disaster when thyroid cancer was developed.

Dr. Yury Bandazhevsky’s comment on this news:
Dr. Bandazhevsky has been warning the effect of the Fukushima fallout since he visited Japan last year.  Mr. Kouta Kinoshita, one of popular blog on Fukushima disaster sent his recent thyroid news as follows:
“12 children developed thyroid cancer and 15 children with suspected cancer”  So far about 170,000 children were examined.  It means 1.6 in 10,000 after 2 years if you include suspected children.  I believe normally 1or 2 in 1million children develop thyroid cancer which means about160 times more than normal were found in Fukushima.”
According to Mr. Kinoshita, he was shocked to hear the news and asked him to pass this information to all the other Japanese people. 
“1991(事故の後の5)に、チェルノブイリ原子力発電所で事故によって最も影響を受けたゴメリ地域では、子どもの中の甲状腺癌の頻度は10万人の子ども当たり11.3人でした。この中にふくまれますが、少女は、10万人の当たり16.8人となります.
“In 1991 5 years after the Chernobyl disaster, ratio of children developed thyroid cancer was 11.3 in 100,000, girls among them were 16.8 in 100,000 in Gomel district in Belarus.”
Mr. Kinoshita left his comment in his blog, saying:
“According to Dr. Bandazhevsky’s reply, I think the ratio of the children developing thyroid cancer in Chernobyl in 5 years is similar to the one in Fukushima in 2 years:  If I apply it to Fukushima case, it is 1.1 in 10,000, 1.7 girls in 10,000.
The number of children developing cancer will increase as the time passes on, therefore there would be more serious consequences in Fukushima than in Chernobyl in the future.”

Dr.Akira Sugenoya, Matsutomo Mayor in Nagano prefecture since 2004, had worked with Chernobyl children at in the Cancer center in Gomel district in Belarus.
Dr. Akira Sugenoya’s comment on Thyroid examination
We should not conclude on the result of thyroid examination as nothing to do with Fukushima fallout.  Normally 1 to 2 in 1 million children develop thyroid cancer.  However in Chernobyl, 4 children developed thyroid cancer in the following year.  Also we should be well aware that cancer spread into lung in one in six cases in Chernobyl. 
Nuclear disaster is a national crisis.  We haven’t learned a lesson from the Chernobyl disaster and been neglecting the danger of Nuclear energy.  The Japanese Government should support the Fukushima disaster victims financially by giving them more regular and full examination and evacuating them into safer area.
