Article Synopsis
- A case-control study was conducted among Chernobyl liquidators to examine how low- to medium-dose radiation exposure affected the risk of developing hematological malignancies.
- Researchers analyzed data from 117 cases of cancer, including types like leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and compared them to 481 matched controls.
- The study concluded that there was a significantly elevated relative risk of cancers at radiation doses of 200 mGy and above, with some estimates being consistent with previous studies of atomic bomb survivors, though there are concerns about potential biases affecting the results.
