@Jec, TIS, shaker1-
Since medical data from Fukushima University is unreliable, blogger 4_sea compiled data using a loophole: by looking up a website 'caloo' which surveys 'surgery success rates' (kind of like an 'Angie's list' for surgery) and pulling data of Fukushima University Hospital from there.

This compares 2011, 2012 & 2013 data- charts were created with 2011 numbers as the starting point 100%
(I've been translating what each chart is.. more than halway thru..)

bo that's great…but the list, is it giving a success rate from top being the lowest success (or highest) or something like that? Anyway, thank you. Sorry I'm so dense.

Thanks for the question LC – the numbers only show how many 'procedures' were performed to fix these health problems at Fuku Univ.
The blogger figured, that's a good way to peek into how much health issues increased after 2011.

For example the first chart says
甲状腺の悪性腫瘍
26→52→46→66
The number there under the headline shows how many surgeries for malignant tumors of the thyroid were performed 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014
( Just this first chart includes 2014 number as well )
