Survey of hospitals and clinics where atomic bomb survivors and their comparisons reported having received radiation therapy confirmed that 137 were so treated. The malignancies of five subjects were possibly related to their earlier radiation therapy rather than their atomic bomb radiation exposure, stressing the importance of recording all medical X-ray exposures as a potential variable in epidemiological studies of cancer etiology.
对那些有原子弹爆炸幸存者及其对照者报告曾接受放射治疗的医院和诊所进行调查后证实,有137人接受过这种治疗。5名受试者的恶性肿瘤可能与其早期接受的放射治疗有关,而非原子弹辐射暴露,这凸显了在癌症病因学的流行病学研究中记录所有医疗X射线照射作为一个潜在变量的重要性。
