Biologically-based risk estimation for radiation-induced chronic myeloid leukemia.
Radiation cancer risks are typically determined by the use of simple statistical descriptions of epidemiological data. It is important in risk assessment in general, however, to attempt to incorporate as much biological information into the risk models as possible. We illustrate this by presenting a biologically-based linear-quadratic-exponential (LQE) incidence rate model for radiation-induced...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation and Childhood Leukemia
doi: 10.1289/ehp.10217 In their otherwise informative and concise review of the current state of evidence concerning risk factors for acute childhood leukemia, Belson et al. (2007) did not correctly address nonionizing radiation and, in particular, power frequency magnetic fields as a possible risk factor for childhood leukemia. This failure may be due to a widespread misconception about the ev...
متن کاملLeukemia and Ionizing Radiation Revisited
A world-wide radiation health scare was created in the late 1950s to stop the testing of atomic bombs and block the development of nuclear energy. In spite of the large amount of evidence that contradicts the cancer predictions, this fear continues. It impairs the use of low radiation doses in medical diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. This brief article revisits the second of two key st...

Spiess University Children's Hospital, 80336 Munich, Pettenkoferstr. 8a Between 1945 and 1955, several thousand patients were injected with a preparation containing Radium-224 (Ra-224) called Peteosthor as treatment for bone tuberculosis...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The U.S. government recently implemented rules for awarding compensation to individuals with cancer who were exposed to ionizing radiation while working in the nuclear weapons complex. Under these rules, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is considered to be a nonradiogenic form of cancer. In other words, workers who develop CLL automatically have their compensation claim rejected because the c...
