Targeted and Nontargeted Effects of Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation on Delayed Genomic Instability in Human Cells
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
All humans receive some radiation exposure and the risk for radiation-induced cancer at low doses is based on the assumption that there is a linear non-threshold relationship between dose and subsequent effect. Consequently, risk is extrapolated linearly from high radiation doses to very low doses. However, adaptive responses, bystander effects, and death-inducing effect may influence health effects associated...
