Abstract
The article provides a review of the latest publications dealing with effects of ionizing radiation on organs and tissues of the genitourinary system. The majority of epidemiological studies provide evidence that despite certain radio-resistance of the tissue, malignant neoplasms of this localization can be formed both as a result of irradiation of the small pelvis itself and due to excretion of radionuclides in case of exposure of other tissues, especially given hormonal disbalance caused by radiogenic disturbance of sexual glands functioning.
Key words
Cancer risk, irradiated population, radiation accidents, genitourinary system, ionizing radiation, malignant tumors, liquidators, small pelvis, radio-resistance of tissues.
