Uit de publicatie:
ABSTRACT Re-analysis of Hanford data by a method which identified all the exactly matched controls of all the cancer cases, has produced evidence of a cancer risk at supposedly safe dose levels. The extra cancers are evenly distributed between different types of neoplasms but as a result of mounting sensitivity to carcinogenic effects of radiation with mounting age, as well as long intervals between cancer induction and death, the radiogenic cancers are concentrated among the older cases. The much lower risk for A-bomb survivors than for nuclear workers is probably the result of gross under representation of older persons in the higher dose subgroups of the LSS cohort - or selection effects of the early deaths. Key words: Cancer: Radiation: Epidemiology.
