The position of foetal irradiation in the aetiology of childhood cancers has been re-affirmed, but there is no support for the idea that exposure of parental gonads to diagnostic X-rays is conducive to cancer in the next generation.
对牛津儿童癌症调查过程中收集的数据进行分析后发现,无需系统核对个人记录就能识别记忆偏差的不同方面,并利用有偏差的数据。胎儿期受辐射在儿童癌症病因学中的地位已得到再次确认,但没有证据支持父母性腺接受诊断性X射线照射会导致下一代患癌症这一观点。
