Cancer genes and risk assessment.

Abstract excerpt

In the radiation protection approach to risk assessment, it is assumed that cancer induction follows low-level radiation exposure in a probabilistic way. The stochastic model underlying all present risk assessment methods derives risks from cancer incidence frequencies in exposed populations and associates disease outcomes totally with the level of exposure to an environmental source. Exposure is the risk factor...
