Screening Doses for Induction of Cancers Calculated with the Interactive RadioEpidemiological Program (IREP)

Abstract

This report presents tabulations of equivalent doses of ionizing radiation, referred to as screening doses, that correspond to an estimated probablity of causation of specific cancers of approximately 50% at the upper 99% credibility limit. Screening doses for 32 cancer types were calculated with the Interactive RadioEpidemiological Program, which is used by the Department of Veterans Affairs in adjudicating claims for compensation for cancer by veterans of military services.
