Leukaemia epidemiology and radiation risks.
This review deals with the associations between exposure to ionising and non-ionising irradiation and the risks of leukaemia. A systematic approach is adopted to enable the reader to disentangle the different types of exposure and their resultant effects (if any) on leukaemogenesis.
