Dr. Yalow reports also (1994) that:

"A case control study by Linos et al (1980) of 138 cases of leukemia, which represent all known cases in Olmstead County, Minnesota between 1955 and 1974 and matched controls, revealed that there was no statistically significant increase in the risk of developing leukemia after radiation doses up to 300 rads to the bone marrow when these doses were administered in small doses over long periods of time, as in the case of routine medical care."

"Virtually all medical care is provided by the Mayo Clinic and one other private medical group practice and the record keeping and estimations of bone marrow dose is very reliable."
