Ionizing Radiation Exposure and the Development of Soft-Tissue Sarcomas in Atomic-Bomb Survivors

摘要

Background: Very high levels of ionizing radiation exposure have been associated with the development of soft-tissue sarcoma. The effects of lower levels of ionizing radiation on sarcoma development are unknown. This study addressed the role of low to moderately high levels of ionizing radiation exposure in the development of soft-tissue sarcoma.
