What is Risk of Childhood Cancer From Fetal Irradiation about?

The article reviews the association between fetal irradiation from diagnostic radiography and the risk of childhood cancer, highlighting that there is no threshold dose below which no excess risk arises. Evidence suggests a significant increase in cancer risk, particularly with abdominal X-rays during the last trimester of pregnancy, with a relative risk of about 40%. Despite some skepticism regarding causality, the findings are supported by strong statistical significance and a dose-response relationship.
