The low-level radiation link to cancer of the pancreas
Description
Studies of mortality among Hanford workers have been interpreted to suggest that cancer of the pancreas may be linked to low-level radiation exposure. Dose-effect data for Hanford workers are compared with Japanese atomic bomb survivor data and large discrepancies are found. Explanations for these discrepancies are discussed. (author)
