I'm an epidemiologist at the National Institutes of Health, Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina. I did this study as my doctoral dissertation while I was at Johns Hopkins. The reason I did this study was that at the time there had been a number of studies of other head and neck radiation treatments, where children were exposed for a variety of conditions and were showing up 10 or 20 years later with increases in thyroid cancer. There was a lot of publicity about this and much concern. The chil dren were treated for ringworm of the scalp, for acne, for enlarged thymus glands, and maybe a dozen cohorts had been studied. No body had really looked at this treatment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
