title: Life-table factors for use in estimating the cancer risk of radiation exposure to workers.
abstract: Recent publications have discussed the use of life-tables in estimating the risks of radiation-induced cancer (Bu81; Ha81). These studies have been useful in estimating the hazards to groups of individuals exposed to radiation. However, they are not always presented in a way which is useful to health physicists. Life-table factors are presented here which may be of use in calculating such risks to individuals or groups.
