Abstract

Heidenreich, W. F., Atkinson, M. and Paretzke, H. G. Radiation-Induced Cell Inactivation can Increase the Cancer Risk. Radiat. Res. 155, 868–870 (2001).

Radiation can inactivate cells that are replaced by dividing neighboring cells. If cells on the way to malignancy can fill the deficit faster than healthy cells, their number increases. A major part of the radon-induced lung cancers in the Colorado miners can be explained by a moderate increase in the replacement probability.
