Thresholds for radiation induced mutation? The Muller-Evans debate: A turning point for cancer risk assessment.

Chemico-biological interactions - 1 Sept 2023

Calabrese Edward J

Abstract excerpt

In 1949 Robley Evans [1] published a paper in Science supporting a threshold dose response for ionizing radiation-induced mutation, contradicting comments of Hermann Muller during his 1946 Nobel Prize Lecture [2] and subsequent presentations. Evans sent a final draft [3] prior to publication to over 50 leading geneticists/radiologists, including Muller, with this correspondence being generally extremely...
