Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of protracted exposure to 60Co gamma rays on survival and tumor induction in the beagle were investigated. Total accumulated doses of 450, 1050, 1500, and 3000 cGy were given at rates of 3.8, 7.5, 12.8, and 26.3 cGy/day. Hazard models were used to identify trends in mortality associated with radiation exposure. The probability of an acute death (related to hematopoietic aplasia) was positively associated with the total dose received and the rate at which the dose was delivered. Once an animal survived the initial hematopoietic effects of radiation exposure, the risk of death from causes other than cancer, while elevated, was far less responsive than the neoplastic end points. No relationship between tumor or chronic nontumor deaths and dose rate could be identified. However, survival curves for tumor mortality did separate into a pattern clearly dependent on the accumulated dose.
