Table 2 Summary of Differences between RHRI-PEPC and OSH-PC
From: Probability of causation for occupational cancer after exposure to ionizing radiation
| Items | RHRI-PEPC | OSH-PC |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer types | 30 | 29 (exclude a category of digestive system cancers combined) |
| Baseline cancer incidence rate | Use a value as age-standardized rate (ASR) published by IARC [14] | Use Korean age-specific incidence rate in the year of diagnosis |
| Lung cancer type | 1 category for lung cancer | 4 categories by cell type (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, small cell, other types) |
| Lung cancer relative risk for smoking-related adjustment | Use relative risk by smoking level in the U.S. population | Use Korean lung cancer relative risk by smoking level [17] |
