The Department of Labor (DOL) has determined that my cancer was not caused by occupational radiation exposure. What else could have caused me to get cancer?
It is important to remember that not all cancers are caused by radiation. Cancer may also be caused by one or more factors related to our environment, lifestyle, or heredity. Within each of these, scientists have identified behaviors, characteristics, or activities (risk factors) that increase the chance of developing cancer. For example, smoking is a lifestyle risk factor that increases the chance of developing lung and many other types of cancer. Additional information on cancer and risk factors can be found on the National Cancer Institute’s Web site.
