Risk of Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Skin Cancers After Ionizing Radiation Therapy

18 Dec 1996

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human evidence that ionizing radiation is carcinogenic first came from reports of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) on the hands of workers using early radiation devices. An increased risk of NMSC has been observed among uranium miners, radiologists, and individuals treated with x rays in childhood for tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) or for thymic enlargement; NMSC is one of the cancers most...
