Study published in American Journal may link occupational radiation exposure to brain tumors

A new study published in the American Journal of Cardiology may point out a link between occupational radiation exposure and brain tumors, after results showed disproportionate reports of left-sided brain tumors among interventional physicians who often conducted exams involving ionizing radiation.  This study followed up a report which previously covered nine recent cases of brain cancer among interventional cardiologists, after researchers received 22 additional cases from around the world after publication.

Although the paper in itself does not prove anything other than identifying a cluster of cases, when you put it together with many other studies on occupational hazards, they tell a very startling story. So, not only is this study telling you there is a clustering and there is a hypothesis to suggest why, but the sidedness strongly supports that hypothesis. So I think this is a very scary, concerning and troubling paper that everyone in health care should be talking about it.

Yet the silence will be deafening.
