Following intravenous injection of Thorotrast in humans and animals, various malignancies were found, primarily liver cancers (latency period of 25-30 years), leukemia (latency period of 20 years), and bone cancers (latency period of about 26 years). Short-lived daughter products of thorium also resulted in the induction of bone sarcoma because of their short radioactive half-lives. Intravenous injection of thorium-228 resulted in dose-dependent induction of bone sarcoma in dogs (Lloyd et al. 1985 Mays et al. 1987 Stover 1981 Wrenn et al. 1986). At the highest administered level, the animals died from systemic radiological effects (e.g., radiation induced blood dyscrasia and nephritis) before the bone sarcoma could develop (Stover 1981 Taylor et al. 1966). A relationship was found between the amount of thorium-227 (half-life of 18.7 days) injected intraperitoneally and the incidence of bone sarcoma in mice (Luz et al. 1985 Muller et al. 1978). [Pg.66]

The BEIR III risk estimates formulated under several dose-response models demonstrate that the choice of the model can affect the estimated excess more than can the choice of the data to which the model is applied. BEIR III estimates of lifetime excess cancer deaths among a million males exposed to 0.1 Gy (10 rad) of low-LET radiation, derived with the three dose-response functions employed in that report, vary by a factor of 15, as shown in Ikble 6.1 (NAS/NRC, 1980). In animal experiments with high-LET radiation, the most appropriate dose-response function for carcinogenesis is often found to be linear at least in the low to intermediate dose range (e.g., Ullrich and Storer, 1978), but the data on bone sarcomas among radium dial workers are not well fitted by either a linear or a quadratic form. A good fit for these data is obtained only with a quadratic to which a negative exponential term has been added (Rowland et al., 1978). [Pg.53]

The important inorganic toxic compounds to be considered in the following pages are arsine, arsenic trichloride, white arsenic, arsenites and arsenates and arsenic sulphides. Metallic arsenic itself is not poisonous, and the intravenous injection of a colloidal solution of this substance has been found 8 to benefit greatly a case of bone sarcoma of the femur which did not respond to X-ray treatment. [Pg.290]

Based on their findings, bone sarcomas, carcinomas of the perinasal sinuses and mastoid air cells (often called head cancers), and deterioration of skeletal tissue are considered to be the only effects that are unequivocally attributable to internal radium (Rundo et al. 1986). [Pg.25]

These bone sarcomas and head carcinomas have been seen in many radium dial painters and have appeared from 5 to more than 50 years after first exposure to radium. Of those dial painters for whom radium intakes have been estimated (a total of 1,907), 41 have developed bone sarcomas,... [Pg.25]

Of the Elgin State Hospital patients who received injections of radium-226 (see Section 2.2.4), two patients developed bone sarcomas, four developed head carcinomas, and a seventh patient had both types of malignancy (statistical significance was not addressed) (Gustafson and Stehney 1985). [Pg.29]

Cancer. In humans, radium-224 is known to induce bone sarcomas, and it is strongly suspected of inducing breast cancer in females who received this isotope when younger than 21 years of age at total doses greater than 12 pCi/kg (444 kBq/kg). Liver and kidney cancers are also possibly induced by radium-224 (Spiess et al. 1989). [Pg.35]

No evidence linking oral exposure to uranium to human cancer has been found. Although natural, depleted, or enriched uranium and uranium compounds have not been evaluated in rodent cancer bioassays by any route by the NTP (BEIR 1980, 1988, 1990 Hahn 1989 Sanders 1986 UNSCEAR 1982,1986,1988), there is potential for the carcinogenicity of uranium, since it emits primarily alpha radiation. Nevertheless, no evidence has been found to associate human exposure to uranium compounds and carcinogenesis. The National Academy of Sciences has determined that bone sarcoma is the most likely cancer from oral exposure to uranium however, their report noted that this cancer has not been observed in exposed humans and concluded that exposure to natural uranium may have no measurable effect (BEIR IV). [Pg.151]

The report estimated a lifetime risk of excess bone sarcomas per million people of 1.5 if soluble uranium isotopes were ingested at a constant daily rate of 1 pCi/day (0.037 Bq/day). The number of bone sarcomas that occur naturally in a population of a million people is 750. However, no quantitative risk coefficient estimates for developing human exposure protection benchmarks were provided in this report. In addition, the BEIR IV analysis was presumably based on generic short-lived alpha-emitting sources, such as radon that have a higher potential for inducing cancer, and not on radionuclides with relatively longer radioactive half-lives like and Perhaps more importantly, the BEIR IV report... [Pg.152]

Ifosfamide is an alkylating agent belonging to the group of oxazaphosphorines. It is used to treat a variety of solid tumors in children, including rhabdomyosarcoma, soft tissue sarcomas, Wilms tumor, bone sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, and leukemias and lymphomas in adults. It is also sometimes used in combination with other drugs, such as doxorubicin or cisplatin and etoposide. [Pg.1714]
