On 11/30/2015, Fukushima prefectural government announced the number of children who were diagnosed of malignant or possible malignant thyroid tumor rose up to 152 in total.

From April of 2014 to September of 2015, 39 children were diagnosed of malignant or possible malignant thyroid tumor additionally. 19 of them were diagnosed of nothing before April of 2014, which strongly suggests that the tumor was formed after the first test.

Also, 37 of those 39 children were diagnosed of only A1 or A2 in the first test.

120 of 152 children had thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Hoshi, the chairman of Fukushima health investigative committee comments it is unlikely that it’s related to Fukushima accident because the radiation level was lower than Chernobyl accident and under 6 years old children (at the moment of 3/11/2011) are not diagnosed of the thyroid tumor.
