Changes in documented risk factors for breast cancer and rates of screening cannot
completely explain recent increases in incidence or mortality. Established risk factors for breast …

Final incidences of late-occurring diseases are seriously affected by mortality rates preceding
their onset. Meaningful analysis of survival experiments can be obtained by estimations of …

Cohort mortality data is represented by a probabilistic combination of competing risks (diseases).
Each risk is described by an age-at-death distribution and a net probability of …

Deaths in the RERF Life Span Study (LSS) sample have been determined for the years
1950-1985 and an analysis of cancer mortality with the revised DS86 doses has been described …

Efforts in estimating carcinogenic risk in humans from long-term exposure to chemical
carcinogens have centered on the problem of low-dose extrapolation. For chemicals with …

While radiation health risks at low doses have traditionally been estimated from high-dose
studies, we have reviewed recent literature and concluded that the mechanisms of action for …

Public health authorities in the United States are recommending that men, women and children
reduce their exposure to sunlight, based on concerns that this exposure will promote skin …

This article aims to alert the medical community and public health authorities to accumulating
evidence on health benefits from sun exposure, which suggests that insufficient sun …

Objective The primary objective was to determine whether occupational exposure to organic
solvents is related to an increased risk of systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). Methods …

<p>This report reviews the current statistical methods used (1) to establish dose‐response
relationships for irreversible self‐replicating toxic effects (ie, carcinogenesis) in laboratory …
