| Abstract |
This monograph presents the views and expert opinions of an IARC working group which met in Lyon, France, 14-21 June 2000 on the cancer risks from internal radiations sources which result from ingestion, inhalation, dermal absorption or injection of radionuclides. Among the 34 radionuclides evaluated, 10 were classified in group 1 (carcinogenic to humans). The following aspects are covered: exposure data; studies of cancer in humans; studies of cancer in experimental animals; other data relevant to an evaluation of carcinogenicity and its mechanisms; summary of reported data and evaluation. |
