Non-Targeted Effects and the Dose Response for Heavy Ion Tumorigenesis

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: There is no human epidemiology data available to estimate the heavy ion cancer risks experienced by astronauts in space. Studies of tumor induction in mice are a necessary step to estimate risks to astronauts. Previous experimental data can be better utilized to model dose response for heavy ion tumorigenesis and plan future low dose studies.
