Neutron Carcinogenesis

The results of a workshop, Neutron Carcinogenesis, sponsored by the Office of Health Effects of the Department of Energy and the National Cancer Institute, held at Oak Ridge on September 19 and 20, 1983 are discussed. The workshop was organized by the Interlaboratory External Radiation Carcinogenesis group that was set up in 1982 to encourage interaction, collaboration, and exchange of expertise between the laboratories still active in the field of external radiation carcinogenesis. The major aim was to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between the workers concerned with dosimetry, biophysics, in vitro transformation, and carcinogenesis in experimental animals.
