Abstract | |||
We plan to update and expand an earlier pooled analysis of external radiation exposure and the risk of thyroid cancer. The first analysis was based on seven studies and the new analysis will include data from the original seven studies, all but three of which have been updated for a total of 16 studies (12 cohort and 4 case-control). The studies were conducted in the U.S., Japan, Israel and Europe and represent all epidemiologic studies providing data on external radiation and thyroid cancer that have estimated individual thyroid gland radiation doses. |
