Baixos níveis de radiação ionizante causam câncer?

Abstract: Recente publicação sobre câncer causado por raios-X diagnósticos, especialmente aqueles oriundos dos procedimentos de tomografia computadorizada, tornou-se um dos artigos mais lidos por radiologistas dos Estados Unidos (1) . Abaixo transcreve-se parte da tabela utilizada: Carta ao Editor Carta ao Editor Carta ao Editor Carta ao Editor Carta ao EditorO autor adota a extrapolação que tem sido efetuada dos efeitos biológicos de elevados e médios níveis de radiação ionizante para baixos níveis.

“…Ionizing radiation also acts directly on nuclear DNA and may result in single-or double-strand breaks (Calegaro, 2007). Previous studies assessed the impact of various doses of radioiodine in several systems and indicated that isotope exposure increases the frequency of chromosomal aberrations (Puerto et al, 2000;da Silva et al, 2008;Düsman et al, 2011) and micronuclei (MN) (Watanabe et al, 2004;Joseph et al, 2009).…”

“…According to the authors, this effect may be caused by the short lifespan of lymphocytes (3-4 days) or by the rapid repair of cellular damage. According to Calegaro (2007), the body may react to the action of ionizing radiation, such as 131 I, by the neutralization of oxygen radicals, activation of the repair of structural alterations in DNA, induction of apoptosis if there are signs of cellular inviability, and activation of immune responses that recognize the damaged cell as foreign by the alterations in the membrane.…”

“…Ionizing radiation, through interaction with the environment, causes the formation of oxidizing free radicals by radiolysis of water, which react with intracellular macromolecules and alter cellular metabolism. Ionizing radiation also acts directly on nuclear DNA and may result in single-or double-strand breaks (Calegaro 2007).…”

“…Such studies have demonstrated a great variation in the accumulated dose, depending on the exposure frequency and intensity. Also, one has identified the need for reduction of the dose to the lowest possible level, according to the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle, without impairing the evaluation and interpretation of the images ( 29 , 30 ) . Such a preoccupation should be enhanced in cases involving children, youth and pregnant women, considering the risks of cumulative effect of ionizing radiation ( 30 , 31 ) .…”
