Abstract
who reside in the catchment area of the Chelyabisnk regional oncology centre. The analyses are based on over 47 years of follow-up and over 1800 cases of cancer. They report a significant radiation-related increase in solid cancer incidence in this population (with about 3% of the cancer cases attributable to radiation). The estimated excess relative risk (ERR) of solid cancer is 1.0/Gy of radiation dose [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3, 1.9], very similar to the estimate these authors obtained based on cancer mortality in the entire expanded Techa River Cohort 8 (Table 1). These estimates are higher than, though statistically compatible with, comparable estimates derived by extrapolation from the atomic bomb survivors study (gender-averaged ERR estimate at age 65
