Estimates of excess relative risk per Sv (95% confidence intervals) for specific causes of death

Cause of death*	No of deaths	Risk
All cancers excluding leukaemia	5024	0.97 (0.14 to 1.97)
All cancers excluding leukaemia, lung and pleural cancers	3528	0.59 (−0.29 to 1.70)
Solid cancers	4770	0.87 (0.03 to 1.88)
Smoking related solid cancers †	2737	0.91 (−0.11 to 2.21)
Solid cancers unrelated to smoking	2033	0.62 (−0.51 to 2.20)

^*Colon dose used for all cancers excluding leukaemia; all cancers excluding leukaemia, lung and pleural cancers; solid cancers; and solid cancers unrelated to smoking. Lung dose used for smoking related solid cancers.

^†Those cancers identified as having sufficient evidence for being caused by smoking in recent IARC monograph¹⁵: cancers of lung, oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, kidney (body and pelvis), ureter, urinary bladder, and uterine cervix. Category of cancers unrelated to smoking comprised all other solid cancers.
