Abstract
The most concerning concequences of radiation are malignant diseases and genetic alterations that reflect to the descendant. The connections between the thyroid tumours and different kind of radiations, also in the therapeutic purposes, are well known. The aim of proposed project is to make such a model of thyroid cancerogenesis that will make possible the comparison of the results between in vitro and in vivo investigations. On this model we would like to study the radiation cancerogenesis of the thyroid cells with the contemporary methods and to establish the genom alterations that lead to the tumour transformation. We also want to verify the hypothesis that inactive thyroid cells are less sensitive to radiation that active ones.
