Low-dose occupational ionising radiation exposure and gastrointestinal cancer mortality among US radiologic technologists, 1983–2021
In this nationwide cohort of radiologic technologists, cumulative occupational ionising radiation exposure was not clearly associated with mortality from specific gastrointestinal cancers. Studies with cancer incidence follow-up and pooled analyses of ionising radiation-exposed populations may provide more comprehensive and robust dose-response estimates for specific gastrointestinal cancers.
