Description
We include, in the observed correlation [1] between lifetime cancer risk and the accumulative number of steem cell divisions in a tissue, a new variable related to the effective radiation dose received by that tissue. Computed natural radiation dose is compared with data contained in the Report [2], whereas the artificial (man made) radiation dose is taken from [2].
