Dear Mr.
Zeder:
This is to advise you that the following three Marshallese in
the group exposed to fallout radiation in 1954 have had thyroid surgery and results are noted:
1) Qe (574) Rongelap Island,
female, age 38 - benign adenomas; 2) QM2159) Ucirik Island,
male, age 33 - benign adenomas; 3) QM (7/2194), Ucirik
Island,
female, age 57 - cancer of the thyroid.
The attached list updates the people who are under your consideration for compensation.
This list includes the above three. As
amatter of receyd one of the Rongelap exposed people,
(#18) female, age 42 who is previously listed for compensation
(thyroid surgery for cancer) has been undergoing x-ray therapy at
the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health for a
pituitary (brain) tumor.
This tumor is not believed to be related
to her thyroid cancer.
I am enclosing a copy of a newspaper clipping about this.
Sincerely,
PRIVACY ACT MATERIAL REMOVED
