2021, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Upon these papers and unpublished data, the LNT-leukemia argument of Lewis (1957a) would rest. In the cases of Folley et al. (1952), Lange et al. (1954), and Moloney and Kastenbaum (1955), the leukemia data were reported up to 1953. The unpublished data brought the cases up to September 1955.

2020, Blood ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Beyond natural aging and male sex, there are limited established risk factors for the formation of the Philadelphia chromosome. Some of the earliest clinical data suggesting a possible etiologic factor for the development of CML stems from the long-term study of survivors of the Japanese atomic bomb detonations and resultant radiation exposure [108–111]. The excess relative risk for CML was estimated to be 5.24 per Gy (95% CI: 1.92–11.8) standardized to attained age 55 and 25 years after exposure with a statistically-significant linear radiation dose response relationship [111].

The Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission was authorized by directive of the President of the United States in 1946. It was established in the same year under the auspices of the National Research Council, with the support of the Atomic Energy Commission for the purpose of studying long-term medical effects of the atomic bombs exploded in Japan.
