Radiology link to TB lung cancer sparks call for study
Dr John W Gofman of UC Livermore testifies before the Joint Atomic Energy Committee arguing fluoroscopic radiation from past pneumothorax TB treatment raises lung cancer risk five to tenfold among TB patients. He and Dr Arthur Tamplin urge immediate nationwide study to quantify exposures and reduce doses. Their finding challenges safe exposure levels and prompts reconsideration of radiology practices.
