Chernobyl-related Bladder Lesions: New Interpretation Required
Journal Title: Journal of Interdisciplinary Histopathology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Some aspects of practical pathology in the former Soviet Union, having a potential impact on the diagnostic quality, as well as possible mechanisms of false-positive diagnostics of malignant and premalignant lesions after the Chernobyl accident were discussed previously. In particular, overdiagnosis appears probable in regard to the bladder lesions detected in the radio-contaminated areas. Some studies on the post-Chernobyl bladder lesions are valuable but require new interpretation.
