DOI: 10.1007/s00420-018-1334-3
Abstract: PurposeRadon is a risk factor for lung cancer and uranium miners are more exposed than the general population. A genome-wide interaction analysis was carried out to identify genomic loci, genes or gene sets that modify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/oemed-2022-108532
Abstract: Objectives Radon is a ubiquitous occupational and environmental lung carcinogen. We aim to quantify the association between radon progeny and lung cancer mortality in the largest and most up-to-date pooled study of uranium miners. Methods… read more here.
