Cancer induction in man from internal radioactivity
Journal Article
·
· Health Phys., v. 25, no. 6, pp. 585-592
The indicated malignancies have been induced in exposed persons by the following radionuclides and their decay products- /sup 222/Rnuranium miners -- lung carcinomas; /sup 226/Ra-- dial painters --bone sarcomas and sinus carcinomas; /sup 232/Th-- thorotrast cases -- liver cancers; /sup 224/Ra- German patients-- bone sarcomas; /sup 32/P -- polycythemia patients -leukemia; and /sup 131/I- Marshall Islanders- thyroid tumors. Each of these examples is discussed in turn. (auth)
