Disease relevance of Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced

• The radiation-induced cancers included 35 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer, 15 of thyroid cancer, and 13 of cervical esophageal cancer [1].

High impact information on Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced

• We tested Cry1-/- Cry2-/- mice and fibroblasts derived from these mice for radiation-induced cancer and killing and DNA damage checkpoints and killing, respectively [2].
• In the present paper it is shown that hot-particles produced by irradiating natural uranium with slow neutrons, when implanted (immobilized) under the skin of hairless and nude mice, induce epidermal tumours in excess compared with the conventional non-threshold stochastic model of radiation-induced cancer [3].
• No c-myc amplification was found in unirradiated normal epidermis or in irradiated epidermal cells in the vicinity of radiation-induced cancers [4].
• BACKGROUND: Cabin crews are exposed to cosmic radiation at work and this may increase their incidence of radiation-induced cancers [5].
• Many animal and in vitro experiments have shown that the supplementation of diet with vitamin E within a certain dose range reduced the risk of chemical- and radiation-induced cancers [6].

Gene context of Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced

• The risk of radiation-induced cancer to space travelers outside the earth's magnetosphere will be of concern on missions to the Moon and beyond to Mars [7].
• The possibility of radiation-induced cancer in SCH is small, and the advantage of radiation therapy compares favourably with the risks of other treatments [8].
