Recommendation from the Editor

The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami damaged the reactors at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and caused the release of radioactive materials. In response, Fukushima Prefecture launched a Prefectural Health Management Survey to monitor the health status of Fukushima residents, including a thyroid ultrasound examination (TUE) program targeting residents aged 18 or younger who were living in Fukushima at the time of the nuclear accident. In this issue, Dr Mahiro Asano and her colleague analyzed the survey data from 284,074 individuals and reported highly significant results regarding the detection rate and maximum diameter of thyroid cysts, especially association factors with appearance and disappearance of cysts. This valuable report is expected to shed light on the mechanisms underlying the formation and disappearance of thyroid cysts.
