NCRP Report No. 135, Liver Cancer Risk from Internally-Deposited Radionuclides
NCRP Report No. 135 on Liver Cancer Risks From Internally-Deposited Radionuclides has 73 pages with references and it has 10 sections. This report provides new liver cancer risks of 15 to 40 liver cancers 10–4 Gy–1 for internally-deposited beta/gamma emitting radionuclides in the liver and an average risk, for women and men, of 560 ± 95 liver cancer cases 10–4 Gy–1 for alpha irradiation of the liver. The sections of the report are: 1. Overview, 2. Affinity of Radionuclides for Liver Tissue, 3. Effective Half-Life, 4. Radiation Dose from Internally-Deposited Radionuclides, 5. Radiosensitivity of Liver Tissue, 6. Physical Variables that Alter Response, 7. Use of Experimental Animal Data, 8. Liver Risk Estimates in Humans, 9. Uncertainty in Current Risk Estimates, and a Summary.
