30 years of the Chernobyl accident. Molecular genetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis of thyroid gland.

Abstract

The review presents data on the basic molecular ge-netic mechanisms of formation of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The participation of ionizing radiation in the cancer pathogenesis was analyzed. The role of tu-mor microenvironment, inflammation and nuclear trans-cription factor NF-κB in the initiation and development of papillary thyroid carcinoma was shown.
