To study long-term development and pregnancy outcomes for patients treated for thyroid cancer. Secondary objective: - To estimate the connection between 131 iode activity received during thyroid cancer treatment and the risk of cancer or secondary leukaemia; - to determine the role of dose rate in radiation-induced cancer risk.

The study of Lorraine Miners was set up in 1990 with 2 main objectives.
- To estimate the predictive value of chest tomodensitometry and of sensitive functional tests in the development of peumoconioses.

The study of genetics has subsequently been developped.
