Radiation therapy among A bomb survivors

W.J. Russell and S. Antoku

American Journal of Public Health, 1976, vol. 66, issue 8, 773-777

Abstract: Survey of hospitals and clinics where atomic bomb survivors and their comparisons reported having received radiation therapy confirmed that 137 were so treated. The malignancies of five subjects were possibly related to their earlier radiation therapy rather than their atomic bomb radiation exposure, stressing the importance of recording all medical X ray exposures as a potential variable in epidemiological studies of cancer etiology.
