[Epidemiologic registry of leukemia and other hemoblastoses in Briansk region as an instrument of investigation of consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant]. / Epidemiologicheskii registr leikozov i drugikh gemoblastozov v Brianskoi oblasti kak instrument issledovaniia posledstvii avarii na chernobyl'skoi AES.

Beginning from 1986, at Hematological Research Centre (HRC) epidemiological monitoring has been performed on hemoblastoses in Bryansky district, which suffered from the Chernobyl accident more than any other area of Russia. The collection of personal information is organized about each case of disease from all possible sources, diagnosis verification, computer control, storage and analysis of materials. A specialized Register of Blood diseases is created, including demographical and ecological files. Retrospective period of monitoring 1979-1985, afteraccident period-from 1986. In the register 2832 cases were accumulated of hemoblastoses up to 1993. Regions are selected for monitoring with high levels of contamination by 137Cs (15 Ci/sq.km and more), and area for comparison--the other 21 regions of the district. The comparison did not reveal substantial differences. Further epidemiological analysis must be performed. Taking into account dose loads, special studies are initiated.
