Exposure to diagnostic X-rays and other risk factors for leukemia
- 1. National Institute of Hygiene, Warsaw (Poland). Department of Radiation Protection and Radiobiology
Description
The knowledge on the risk of leukemia after irradiation with small doses of X-rays cumulated during a long time is limited. Such an exposure is typical for persons occupationally exposed to radiation or patients receiving diagnostic X-ray irradiation. Several investigators have found a relationship between exposure to chemical compounds and risk of leukemia. Therefore, it seemed to be interesting to investigate the risk of leukemia when other possible risk factors like exposure to X-rays are taken into account. (author). 2 figs., 2 tabs
