Age-time patterns of radiogenic cancer risk: their nature and likely explanationsDonald A Pierce
Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima, Japan
J Radiol Prot 22:A147-54. 2002..They are particularly suitable for this because they provide insights fairly independent of parameter values in the stochastic models involved...- Joint effects of radiation and smoking on lung cancer risk among atomic bomb survivorsDonald A Pierce
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, 5 2 Hijiyama Park, Hiroshima 732, Japan
Radiat Res 159:511-20. 2003..The adjustment also removes an artifactual age-at-exposure effect in the radiation relative risk, opposite in direction to other cancers, which is due to birth cohort variation in lung cancer rates... - Effect of recent changes in atomic bomb survivor dosimetry on cancer mortality risk estimatesDale L Preston
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima, Japan
Radiat Res 162:377-89. 2004..Whether or not one makes allowance for this, there is no statistically significant city difference in the estimated cancer risk... - Selection bias in cancer risk estimation from A-bomb survivorsDonald A Pierce
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima, Japan
Radiat Res 167:735-41. 2007..05 to 0.07. For solid cancer this would correspond to bias in the excess relative risk at 1 Sv of at most about 15-20%... - Studies of mortality of atomic bomb survivors. Report 13: Solid cancer and noncancer disease mortality: 1950-1997Dale L Preston
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima, Japan
Radiat Res 160:381-407. 2003..Lifetime risk summaries are used to examine uncertainties of the LSS noncancer disease findings... - Age-time patterns of cancer to be anticipated from exposure to general mutagensDonald A Pierce
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima 732 0815, Japan
Biostatistics 4:231-48. 2003..It is indicated that the model consequences conform remarkably well to observations from cohort studies of the A-bomb survivors, miners with prolonged exposure to radon, and cigarette smokers who stopped smoking at various ages... - Studies of mortality of atomic bomb survivors. Report 13: solid cancer and noncancer disease mortality: 1950-1997Dale L Preston
a Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima, Japan
Radiat Res 178:AV146-72. 2012..Lifetime risk summaries are used to examine uncertainties of the LSS noncancer disease findings... - Studies of the mortality of atomic bomb survivors. report 12, part I. Cancer: 1950-1990Donald A Pierce
Department of Statistics, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, 5 2 Hijiyama Park, Minami Ku, Hiroshima 732, Japan
Radiat Res 178:AV61-87. 2012..0 Sv. Site-specific risk estimates are given, but it is urged that great care be taken in interpreting these, because most of their variation can be explained simply by imprecision in the estimates... - Mechanistic models for radiation carcinogenesis and the atomic bomb survivor dataDonald A Pierce
Radiation Effects Research Foundation, 5 2 Hijiyama Park, Hiroshima 732 0815, Japan
Radiat Res 160:718-23. 2003..Although there are important distinctions, I suggest on a very optimistic note that the two major approaches may be converging, and soon the main differences may not be in the assumptions made but in the aims of the modeling... 
Allowance for random dose estimation errors in atomic bomb survivor studies: a revisionDonald A Pierce
Division of Biostatistics, Department of Public Health, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon 97239 3098, USA
Radiat Res 170:118-26. 2008..Inevitably, methods must rely on uncertain assumptions about the magnitude of dose errors, and it is comforting to find that, within the range of plausibility, eventual cancer risk estimates are not very sensitive to these...
