Cancer incidence in the cohort exposed to Cesium-137 accident in Goiânia (Brazil) in 1987

Abstract: Objetivo: descrever a incidência de casos de câncer nas vítimas diretas do acidente Grupo I e II e comparar com as taxas de incidência de câncer na população de Goiânia. Método: Estudo descritivo da coorte de pacientes diretamente expostos e contaminados (Grupos I e II), no acidente com Césio 137, ocorrido em Goiânia (Brasil), em 1987. Descrevemos os casos incidentes de neoplasia maligna diagnosticados no período entre 1988 e 2017. Foram calculados a razão das taxas de incidência e os intervalos de confiança d… Show more

“…In an individualized analysis on the direct victims of the accident, there was no difference in the overall incidence of cancer cases. 21 By means of regression analysis, and considering the breast cancer crude incidence rate and the average dose of ionizing radiation, we found that there was no statistical association between these variables. However, new studies are needed in order to continue the evaluation of other risk factors associated with this neoplasm.…”

“…19,20 One possible explanation for this is that the genetic changes induced in the exposed population were not pathogenic or did not translate into increased cancer risk. 21 In the overall analysis on breast cancer incidence in Goiânia, the peak incidence of the disease would have been expected in 1997, i.e. after a ten-year latency period following the accident.…”
