Prediction of Fatal Radiation-Induced Cancer for Korean Using the BEIR V Method
Hwang, Won-Tae;Han, Moon-Hee;Cho, Gyu-Seong;
ABSTRACT
The lifetime fatal radiation-induced cancer for Korean has been estimated for both single and continuous radiation exposure using the BEIR V method. In case of single exposure, the major radiation-induced cancer type for young and old age is digestive and respiratory cancer, respectively. For the whole population of Korean, the major radiation-induced cancer type is digestive cancer. In case of 1mGy/yr continuous exposure from birth to death, the contribution of total radiation-induced cancer mortality to natural cancer mortality is about 3%.
