[en] Japanese bomb survivor experience has shown that a single, very brief radiation
exposure, a few tens of seconds in duration, is able to induce a considerable variety of …

The present studies were undertaken to examine the time-dose relationships for the
induction of lung adenocarcinomas and mammary adenocarcinomas in female BALB/c mice …

[en] Epidemiological studies can tell much about carcinogenic effects at large doses, but not
at small. To embark on large, long-term, expensive follow-up studies to learn something of …

Although ionizing radiation can apparently induce neoplasms of virtually all types, the
relation between tumor incidence and dose varies, depending on the type of neoplasm …

Epidemiological methods have undergone constant changes as their use has extended from
the study of infections to the study of other diseases. Presently the field of radiology appears …

A brief review of animal studies following external radiation suggested the following
generalizations. For low LET radiation several different dose‐response relationships were …

The late effects or irradiation stem from cell killing, mutation, and malignant transformation.
Cancer is the major somatic late effect of exposure to low dose levels of radiation, and …

DURING the past 10 years, investigators of radiation-induced carcinogenesis in human
beings have concentrated on continuing the follow-up of populations previously studied and …

New additions since 1968 to the literature on radiation carcinogenesis in man support the
earlier conclusion of an approximately linear increase in cancer incidence in a broad …

Ionizing radiation in sufficiently high dosage acts as a complete carcinogen in that it serves
as both initiator and promoter. Further, cancers can be induced in nearly any tissue or organ …
