Exposure to ionizing radiation and brain cancer incidence: The Life Span Study cohort

Highlights • The relationship between atomic bomb radiation and brain cancer is dependent upon the age at exposure. • Children exposed to radiation have much larger effects then those exposed at 20 or 30 years of age. • The LSS has a lower estimate of risks when compared to risk estimates from CT sc...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The relationship between atomic bomb radiation and brain cancer is dependent upon the age at exposure. • Children exposed to radiation have much larger effects then those exposed at 20 or 30 years of age. • The LSS has a lower estimate of risks when compared to risk estimates from CT scan cohort studies.
