Abstract

In this article, the epidemiological design used in the IARC/WHO study regarding the cancer mortality risk in nuclear industry workers is presented. The study was designed as a multinational retrospective cohort study. Workers from 15 countries were included. The participating facilities completeness of vital status and cause of death ascertainment, statistical methods and characteristics of the main study population are discussed.
