RE: New study re: tumor induction & suppression
Ruth,
Since tumors occur naturally in all populations, I guess there is no
threshold. The question is did the radiation initiate or mediate the
process that lead to the detectable tumor. There's the rub.

For anyone who has had a tumor, even a benign tumor, it seems to me
remission is never cheaper or easier than not having the tumor in the first
place. But many (like me) have a real question as to whether there is tumor
induction below a pcertain threshold of ionizing radiation.
