Previous Malignancy as a Risk Factor for the Second Solid Cancer in a Cohort of Nuclear Workers

Abstract: This paper describes the results of epidemiological analysis of a cohort of nuclear workers hired at the main facilities of “Mayak” Production Association located in the city of Ozyorsk in Southern Urals of the Russian Federation. Previous malignancy as a risk factor for second cancer in a cohort of 22,373 workers occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation has been analyzed in a retrospective study with more than 60 years of follow-up. Information on main radiation and non-radiation risk factors (attained ag… Show more

“…[23,24] The body's complex DNA repair system has evolved to correct DNA damage caused by the environment. [25] There are many DNA repair pathways, each responsible for repairing specific types of damage. [26] The base excision repair (BER) pathway mainly eliminates DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen radicals and methylation agents.…”

“…The etiology of SKCM is complex, and it is not completely clear. At present, researchers believe that DNA damage of skin pigment cells is the primary cause, and high-risk factors such as ultraviolet damage, radiation, previous malignancy, trauma stimulation, family history are the inducements of canceration [ 24 , 25 ]. The current diagnostic methods of cutaneous melanoma are reliable, including dermoscopy, ultrasound, and biopsy [ 2 , 26 ].…”

“…These oncological effects without the impact of CT could be considered as "background" cases with zero CT dose for the further comparison. Since previous malignancy is an additional risk factor [12] the cases of second malignant tumours has not been used for the analyses even they appeared after the date of CT examination, and the follow-up period ended on the date of first malignancy.…”
