Updated findings on temporal variation in radiation-effects on cancer mortality in an international cohort of nuclear workers (INWORKS).

ABSTRACT: The International Nuclear Workers Study (INWORKS) contributes knowledge on the dose-response association between predominantly low dose, low dose rate occupational exposures to penetrating forms of ionizing radiation and cause-specific mortality. By extending follow-up of 309,932 radiation workers from France (1968-2014), the United Kingdom (1955-2012), and the United States (1944-2016) we increased support for analyses of temporal variation in radiation-cancer mortality associations. Here, we examine whether age at exposure, time since exposure, or attained age separately modify associations between radiation and mortality from all solid cancers, solid cancers excluding lung cancer, lung cancer, and lymphohematopoietic cancers. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to fit general rela
