Oncogenic Risks by Age at the Time of Radiation Exposure
These figures show excess relative risks of developing cancer (values indicating how much cancer risks have increased among a group of people exposed to radiation compared with a group of non-exposed people) per gray as of age 70, using the results of the surveys targeting atomic bomb survivors.
It can be observed that types of cancer with higher risks differ by age at the time of radiation exposure.
