No comment on whether the article is reliable (I haven't verified that), but nothing in the articles indicates a confirmed increase in fukishima cancers.

What the article says is congenital thyroid abnormalities have increased, and that additional monitoring for cancers is warranted. That is not the same as determining that cancers caused by fukishima have increased.
