Table 1.
Comparison of solid cancer mortality in the lifespan study of A-bomb survivors with Japanese cancer mortality. Japanese average cancer deaths were calculated by dividing cancer deaths by total deaths each year during 1958–2009 [2]. Averages corresponding to survey periods were determined
| Reporters | Year | Survey period | No. hibakusha or [NICa] | No. cancer deaths (%) | % Japanese average cancer deaths |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preston et al. [3] | 2007 | 1958–1998 | 105,427 | 17,448 (16.6) | 21.4 (1958–1998) |
| [25,427] | [3,994 (15.7)] | ||||
| Ozasa et al. [4] | 2012 | 1958–200 | 86,611 | 10,929 (12.6) | 22.3 (1958–2003) |
