Updated findings provide insights into radiation exposure’s impact on cancer risk

"The study concluded that health risk remains low at low exposure levels. Nevertheless, the evidence of associations between total radiation exposure and multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes signals the necessity for future radiation studies to expand the discussion on radiation protection and occupational safety measures on a global scale."

Updated findings provide insights into radiation exposure’s impact on cancer risk

"Our studies of people exposed to low doses of radiation add to our understanding of radiation risks at the exposure levels encountered in many contemporary settings. Our results can inform radiation protection standards and will provide input for discussions on protections from radiation. " (David Richardson )

Low doses of radiation still increase risk of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma

"The study provides crucial insights into radiation exposure’s impact on cancer risk. While this study looked specifically at low-dose exposure of employees at nuclear facilities, it has direct correlation to technologists in radiology and staff in interventional radiology and cardiology."

Why Are So Many Minority Patients Declining Breast Cancer Treatment?

"We see a lot of worry about how the cancer and then the treatment will compromise their abilities to fill their roles in their families. Asian Americans are more likely to agree to surgery, but there are a lot of concerns about the side effects of chemotherapy. They worry about fatigue, loss of time, and the impact it has on their role as a wife or mother." (Sora Park Tanjasiri)

Revolutionary X-Ray Innovation Set to Transform Cancer Treatment and Clinical Radiography

"Dr. [Chris] Barty has advanced electron beam technology to the stage that it can provide clinically relevant doses of Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) exceeding the requireTwo ments of electron FLASH radiotherapy – in an instrument that can fit inside a standard clinical bunker. This remarkable achievement places Lumitron’s technology years ahead of other groups developing high-energy electron irradiators that are more costly and at least five times larger." (Charles Limoli)
