STUDY DESCRIPTION
Beginning in April, 2008, a cohort study has been initiated at Nagasaki University —the Global Strategic Center for Radiation Health Risk Control—to analyse solid cancers and haemopoietic malignancies, radiation exposure information, and clinical data collected from atomic bomb survivors in Nagasaki (Miura et al. 2015). Tumour and surrounding normal tissue are removed at surgery and archived together with personal, historical dose and demographic data. Between 2008 and 2015 around 600 samples were archived, and DNA and RNA prepared.
