Description

Stomach cancer is one of the most widespreaded oncological diseases among the men. It is known about the increase of stomach cancer incidences and mortality among the A-bomb survivors as well as among the professionals subjected to the chronic exposure to external gamma-irradiation and internal exposure due to body burden 239 Pu of high doses. Inasmuch as this disease is polyetiological, the determination of non-radiation factors contribution is important for more accurate estimation of the effect of ionizing radiation on its advent and for its more successful prophylaxis. With this in mind a retrospective investigation of the personal of the atomic plant MAYAK was conducted. who start their work in 1948 to 1960. (author)
