I wonder what would be the carcinogenic effect (in adults) of receiving on the average about 5 cGy radiation dose to the whole body during the period of about 10 years, more or less at a uniform rate.  Can you please give a ballpark figure on the percentage increase in cancers using your model for such a situation?  Thanks.
