From the publication:
Foreword People exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation have an increased risk of developing cancer. Knowledge of this has come from follow-up of population groups that have been exposed (such as survivors from the atomic bomb explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or persons given medical irradiation as treatment for various diseases, or members of the medical professions exposed in the course of their work in the years before the degree of risk was fully understood). Research is still continuing among these groups of people to clarify further the way in which risk varies with age at exposure or with the passage of time since exposure, and to establish which organs of the body are more or less susceptible to the carcinogenic effects of radiation.
