Abstract
Overall, all-cause mortality is 5% in excess compared to reference mortality rates, cancer mortality is 23% in excess, due primarily to excess lung cancer (nearly 8,000 lung cancers, almost twice what was expected based on general population rates); there are also excesses of cancer of the stomach (8%), liver (15%), and larynx (10%).

Lung cancer mortality between 1950 and 1987 after exposure to fractionated moderate-dose-rate ionizing radiation in the Canadian fluoroscopy cohort study and a comparison with lung cancer mortality in the Atomic Bomb survivors study.
