LNT and cancer risk assessment: Its flawed foundations part 1: Radiation and leukemia: Where LNT began
2021, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Upon these papers and unpublished data, the LNT-leukemia argument of Lewis (1957a) would rest. In the cases of Folley et al. (1952), Lange et al. (1954), and Moloney and Kastenbaum (1955), the leukemia data were reported up to 1953. The unpublished data brought the cases up to September 1955.
Exposure to a mycovirus containing Aspergillus Flavus reproduces acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell surface and genetic markers in cells from patients in remission and not controls
2021, Cancer Treatment and Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :The etiology of ALL remains elusive and currently there are no methods to universally predict susceptibility to this disease and means to prevent it [9]. While a large and diverse number of causes and risk factors for ALL have been suggested [10-36], none can be proven with any degree of certainty or be invariably applied to all cases. A recent revised two-hit model for the occurrence of precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia propose that this disease arises through a two-step process [37].
