Abstract

This study summarises the responses to information on thyroid cancer, which possibly provoked misunderstanding and unfounded rumour, described in a letter issued by five former Japanese Prime Ministers on 27 January, 2022. Fukushima Medical University (FMU) implemented countermeasures and follow-up in three phases in response to the letter. In Phase 1, FMU shared scientific facts on the relationship between radiation exposure and thyroid cancer, as well as the response of FMU towards those who read the letter and were concerned about the description. Furthermore, FMU organised lectures and workshops to facilitate peer support among medical and non-medical staff, which were publicised through a newspaper article. In Phase 2, the peer support programme targeting patients with thyroid cancer was launched. In Phase 3, FMU participated in a TV programme to explain the medical aspects of thyroid cancer and the importance of providing peer support to patients with cancer, featuring individuals with experiences as medical staff and survivors.

针对日本五位前首相发布的可能引发误解和无端谣言的甲状腺癌信息采取的对策和后续行动。

2022 年 1 月 27 日，日本五位前首相发表了一封信，信中描述了可能引发误解和无端谣言的有关甲状腺癌的信息，本研究对这些信息的应对措施进行了总结。福岛医科大学（FMU）针对这封信分三个阶段采取了对策和后续行动。在第一阶段，福岛医科大学分享了有关辐射照射与甲状腺癌之间关系的科学事实，以及福岛医科大学对阅读信件并关注描述内容的人的回应。此外，调频股还组织了讲座和研讨会，以促进医务人员和非医务人员之间的同伴支持，并通过报纸文章进行了宣传。在第二阶段，启动了针对甲状腺癌患者的同伴支持计划。在第三阶段，妇联参加了一个电视节目，向医护人员和癌症幸存者讲解甲状腺癌的医学知识以及为癌症患者提供同伴支持的重要性。

期刊介绍： Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
