Book
Radiation induced cancer: A perspective
Description
Quantitative estimates of the risk of many cancer types are available from extended follow-up studies of groups of persons exposed either to external radiation or to internally incorporated radionuclides. But there are still many uncertainties in these risk estimates, and further information is required on how the tumour response is affected by factors such as dose rate, dose and radiation quality. 53 refs, 9 tabs
