radiation effects on breast cancer risk a pooled analysis of eight cohorts
Radiation Research, 2002Co-Authors: Dale L Preston, Anders Mattsson, Erik Holmberg, Roy E Shore, Nancy G Hildreth, John D BoiceAbstract:Abstract Preston, D. L., Mattsson, A., Holmberg, E., Shore, R., Hildreth, N. G. and Boice, J. D., Jr. Radiation Effects on Breast Cancer Risk: A Pooled Analysis of Eight Cohorts. Radiat. Res. 158, 220–235 (2002). Breast cancer incidence rates after radiation exposure in eight large cohorts are described and compared. The nature of the exposures varies appreciably, ranging from a single or a small number of high-dose-rate exposures (Japanese atomic bomb survivors, U.S. acute post-partum mastitis patients, Swedish benign breast disease patients, and U.S. infants with thymic enlargement) to highly fractionated high-dose-rate exposures (two U.S. tuberculosis cohorts) and protracted low-dose-rate exposure (two Swedish Skin Hemangioma cohorts). There were 1,502 breast cancers among 77,527 women (about 35,000 of whom were exposed) with 1.8 million woman-years of follow-up. The excess risk depends linearly on dose with a downturn at high doses. No simple unified summary model adequately describes the excess risks...

mortality from leukemia after irradiation in infancy for Skin Hemangioma
Radiation Research, 1996Co-Authors: Marie Lundell, Larserik HolmAbstract:From 1920 through 1959, 14,624 infants were exposed to ionizing radiation for Skin Hemangioma at Radiumhemmet. They were all less than 18 months old (mean 6 months) at the time of first exposure. The irradiated Hemangiomas were located all over the body. The weighted bone marrow dose was on average 0.13 Gy (range <0.01-4.6 Gy). During the period 1920-1986, 20 deaths from leukemia (11 childhood and 9 adult) were observed in the cohort compared with 17 expected during the same period. There were no significant associations between childhood leukemia and radiation dose. Despite the relatively large number of infants studied, the low average dose to bone marrow limited the possibility of detecting a small radiation risk as might be predicted from other radiation studies.
