INWORKS study: risk of leukaemia from protracted radiation exposure via The Lancet Haematology

[Summary]

I am writing in response to the Article by Klervi Leuraud and colleagues reporting the findings of the INWORKS study.¹ The authors analysed the association between deaths caused by leukaemia and lymphoma of radiation-monitored workers in the nuclear industry in France, the UK, and the USA, and their cumulative occupational radiation doses using the linear no-threshold (LNT) model. The authors concluded that the study provides strong evidence of an association between protracted low-dose radiation exposure and leukaemia mortality.
