Estimated Parameters for Models of Radiation Risk With Irregular Radiation Exposure Times According to LSS Cohort Data.

This article contains an exposition of a quasi-biological model of radiation carcinogenesis. The model was developed to describe the dependence of the radiogenic cancer incidence rate on the age at single exposure to radiation and the age at follow-up. The mathematical image of the model is compared with the corresponding ICRP and UNSCEAR mathematical models. The model is used to analyze the latest data on the cancer incidence rate in a cohort of Japanese people (2009) exposed to radiation from atomic explosions in 1945. It is shown to have methodological possibilities and advantages. The model parameters of radiogenic and background cancer incidence rates in the LSS cohort are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
