A large-scale study was conducted by researchers from Taiwan, which revealed a relationship between the risk of developing thyroid cancer and leukemia with a CT study.

During the audit, 22 853 cases of thyroid cancer, more than 13,000 cases of blood cancer, 20 157 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were analyzed, according to the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The study did not take into account the results of patients under 25 years of age, and those registered with an oncologist for less than three years.

The experiment showed that the most frequent cases of malignant thyroid tumors and blood diseases were detected in patients who have repeatedly undergone studies on a CT scanner.

For comparison: among patients aged 36-45 years who underwent a CT study, the risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was three times higher.

Scientists are sure that the high cumulative doses that people are exposed to during multiple scans increase the risk of developing malignant processes in both the thyroid gland and the circulatory system.
