Abstract

BACKGROUND: There are well-known associations of ionizing radiation with female breast cancer, and emerging evidence also for male breast cancer. In the United Kingdom, female breast cancer following occupational radiation exposure is among that set of cancers eligible for state compensation and consideration is currently being given to an extension to include male breast cancer. OBJECTIVES: We compare radiation-associated excess relative and absolute risks of male and female breast cancers. METHODS: Breast cancer incidence and mortality data in the Japanese atomic-bomb survivors were analyzed using relative and absolute risk models via Poisson regression. RESULTS: We observed significant (p
