The effects of long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation on cancer mortality.
By Tarun Sai LomteAug 21 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent study published in the BMJ evaluated the effects of long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation on cancer mortality.
Understanding the association between low-dose radiation exposure and cancer can help inform decisions about the commercial or medical use of ionizing radiation and exposure limits for those working with ionizing radiation. The team derived annual individual-level estimates of whole-body dose due to external exposure to penetrating radiation.
Stratum-specific model for mortality rates was used to quantify the associations between radiation dose and mortality. Poison regression was used to fit models to analyze mortality rates. The excess relative rate was 0.53/gray for cancer mortality and 0.52/Gy for solid cancer mortality under the 10-year lag assumption.
