It's a result of ionizing radiation.
Cerebral Neoplasia In a recent publication, Roguin talks about 31 physicians chronically exposed to ionizing radiation who developed malignant brain tumors. Among them, 23 were interventional cardiologists, 2 electrophysiologists and 6 interventional radiologists. All of them had had chronic exposure to ionizing radiation (between 12 to 32 years). Among the most frequent tumors were: 17 cases (55%) of multiform glioblastoma, 2 cases (7%) of astrocytoma, and 5 cases (16%) of meningioma, in the most of the cases 85% (22 patients) the tumor localization was left sided, 3 cases in the right side and 1 case in the midline (Table 1) [10]Biologic effect of ionizing radiation
Agreed, but it will be an uphill battle for the families of the victims.
Cho Bai-Dun and Dr. Fauxi will jump right in and make sure that everyone in the country will be able to share in this exciting new(?) challenge.
