Cancer incidence near nuclear facilities in Korea (2005–2022): implications of regional socioeconomic status and industrial context

This study provides a comprehensive description of cancer incidence patterns among populations living near nuclear facilities in Korea. The findings underscore the importance of careful contextual interpretation when evaluating spatial variation in cancer incidence and support the role of population-based monitoring frameworks, as well as the need for continued refinement of exposure characterization, to inform public health planning.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive description of cancer incidence patterns among populations living near nuclear facilities in Korea. The findings underscore the importance of careful contextual interpretation when evaluating spatial variation in cancer incidence and support the role of population-based monitoring frameworks, as well as the need for continued refinement of exposure characterization, to inform public health planning.
