Aims:
Aim 1) To determine whether a sex difference exists for radiation induced lung cancers across all available exposed populations.
Aim 2) To address the issues of transferring risks from one exposed population (e.g., the Japanese atomic bomb survivors) to another (i.e., the astronaut population).
Aim 3) To evaluate the optimum ways for incorporating the sex-specific lung cancer risks into the NASA lifetime risk projection model.
