Ms. Nancy Schlichting, hired for the effort, combed through nearly 28,000 charts of patients irradiated between 1930 and 1965. She found about 4,000 who needed follow-up. Letters Going Out Letters will go out to these 4,000 patients in the next two months, warning them of their increased risk. Early detection of thyroid cancer boosts survival rates close to 100 per cent. Of those patients nationwide who have their thyroid cancer diagnosed before it spreads, 96 per cent live at least five more years and 93 per cent live at least 15 more years.
