The medical cooperative projects from Nagasaki to the former USSR have been performed in mainly two regions: Chernobyl and Semipalatinsk since 1990 and 1995, respectively. What we should do here in Nagasaki and also from Nagasaki will be discussed at the standpoint of humanitarian medical aid and scientific research collaboration usinsgt different channels of governmental and non-governmental cooperative linkages. The 21st Center of Excellence (COE) program of «International Consortium for Medical Care of Hibakusha and Radiation Life Science» established in Nagasaki University can serve our knowledge and experience much more directly in relation to the radiocontaminated areas in the world, and indeed contribute to the lessons learned from Chernobyl and also to the newly establishme of Network of Excellence (NOE) for Radiation Emergency Medicine under the auspices of the WHO-REMPAN. Within the frame of the International Consortium of Radiation Research, a molecular epidemiology of thyroid diseases has now been conducted in our departments. The clue of radiation-associated thyroid carcinogenesis may give us a new concept on experimental and epidemiological approaches to low dose radiation effects on human health, including internal radiation exposure.
