Scope

Remaining lifetime risk of cancer in adults describes the quantitative relationship between exposure to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans furans (PCDD/Fs) and exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in adults and remaining lifetime risk of developing cancer.

Definition

Remaining lifetime risk of cancer in adults is defined as a probability that an adult person exposed to PCDD/Fs and PCBs from fish will develop cancer (any type of cancer) in his/her remaining lifetime.

This variable is indexed by variable age. It applies to age categories 18-55ye and 55yr+.

Causality

List of parents:

• Baseline remaining lifetime risk of cancer in adults
• Intake of PCDD/F from fish in Beneris
• Baseline intake of PCDD/F from fish in Beneris
• Intake of PCB from fish in Beneris
• Baseline intake of PCB from fish in Beneris
• ERF of dioxin on cancer
• ERF of PCB on cancer
