New insight into cancer risks from radiation exposure of low dose and low dose rate
For example, the Chernobyl accident caused the deposition of radioisotopes over wide areas of the Northern Hemisphere, in particular in Europe ( Atlas of Caesium Deposition on Europe after the Chernobyl Accident, 1998), followed by protracted chronic exposure of some millions of people to external and internal radiation. You can see the map of radioactive contamination of Europe after the Chern...
متن کاملThe new era of cancer epidemiology.
Introduction Cancer epidemiology is at the threshold of a new era. Leading contemporary epidemiologists have recognized and begun to analyze this phenomenon from a historical perspective (1 -4). We are not witnessing a staid science looking for rejuvenation but rather a vigorous discipline in search of full expression of its potential contribution to human well-being. Epidemiology has been appr...
متن کاملA new method for ideal dose distribution of two adjacent fields for external beam radiation therapy
Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...
متن کاملMolecular medicine and clinical epidemiology: new era, new choices.
What areas should new researchers in developing countries choose in order to give relevant contributions to medical knowledge? Obviously the answer involves many different subjects. It seems to us that presently molecular medicine is very attractive. On the other hand, the applications of discoveries in molecular medicine and new therapeutic approaches require good clinical investigation method...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Ionising Radiation
Recent years there have been a number of discussions about the magnitude of the health risks resulting from the exposure to low levels of ionising radiation mainly within the American Health Physics Society, the French Academy of Sciences and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association. Essentially, the debate has centred on the question of linearity, i.e., whether to assume that the probabil...
