Reanalysis of cancer mortality in Japanese A-bomb survivors exposed to low doses of radiation: bootstrap and simulation methods
BACKGROUND The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended annual occupational dose limit is 20 mSv. Cancer mortality in Japanese A-bomb survivors exposed to less than 20 mSv external radiation in 1945 was analysed previously, using a latency model with non-linear dose response. Questions were raised regarding statistical inference with this model. METHODS Cancers w...
متن کاملCancer risk at low doses of ionizing radiation: artificial neural networks inference from atomic bomb survivors
Cancer risk at low doses of ionizing radiation remains poorly defined because of ambiguity in the quantitative link to doses below 0.2 Sv in atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki arising from limitations in the statistical power and information available on overall radiation dose. To deal with these difficulties, a novel nonparametric statistics based on the 'integrate-and-fire' algor...
متن کاملRelationship between radiation exposure and risk of second primary cancers among atomic bomb survivors.
Radiation exposure is related to risk of numerous types of cancer, but relatively little is known about its effect on risk of multiple primary cancers. Using follow-up data through 2002 from 77,752 Japanese atomic bomb survivors, we identified 14,048 participants diagnosed with a first primary cancer, of whom 1,088 were diagnosed with a second primary cancer. Relationships between radiation exp...
متن کاملHigh incidence of meningioma among Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors.
Since the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, high incidences of leukemia, thyroid cancer and other tumors have been reported as atomic bomb-induced tumors. We investigated the incidence of meningioma among Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors. Sixty-eight patients surgically treated for meningioma who had been within 2.0 km of the hypocenter of the explosion were identified. Six hundr...
متن کاملHematologic findings in children exposed to A-bomb radiation in utero in Hiroshima.
M ANY hematologic studies have been made on the survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hut since few have dealt with the children irradiated in utero,14 we have investigated the general hematologic findings in these children. A group of children exposed to the Hiroshima A-Bomb while in utero and a nonexposed group have been examined yearly at the Atomic Bomb Casualty C...
