Lung and extrathoracic cancer incidence among underground uranium miners exposed to radon progeny in the Pribram region of the Czech Republic: a case-cohort study

Conclusions We observed positive associations between cumulative radon exposure and lung cancer, consistent with prior studies. We observed a positive association between cumulative radon exposure and extrathoracic cancers, although the estimates were small. There was evidence that the association between radon and lung cancer was modified by smoking in a multiplicative or super-multiplicative fashion.
