* estimated from a linear model of cumulative penetrating photon dose lagged by 10 years, adjusted on calendar year, age, company, duration of employment, and socioeconomic status (except for bones, melanoma, and brain tumours); ** categories of cumulative dose above 20 mGy were collapsed; CI: likelihood-based confidence interval; p-value of a likelihood ratio test vs. no effect of dose; NC: convergence not achieved; ne: not estimated.
