Lung cancer: interaction of radiation exposure with smoking. What to do in IREP?
نویسنده
چکیده
The issue here is how to estimate age-specific values of lung cancer ERR at a given dose for the US population, in the presence of large differences in baseline rates caused by smoking status. The NCI approach, documented in the 2003 NCI-CDC report on revision of the NIH Radioepidemiological Tables (Land et al. 2003), differs from the NIOSH-IREP approach in the balance that is chosen between the additive and multiplicative models.
