TL;DR: Group level evidence should be enough to support the use of CA analysis as a tool in screening programs and prevention policies in occupational and environmental health, even though some data suggest that chromosome-type CAs may have a more pronounced predictive value than chromatid- type CAs.

TL;DR: In this article, established and emerging dosimetry methods are reviewed, which can be used immediately and retrospectively following external ionising radiation exposure, and individual characteristics of these techniques, their limitations and potential for further development are discussed, and their usefulness in specific exposure scenarios is discussed.

TL;DR: The results suggest that both DNA double-strand breaks and other initial DNA lesions responsible for CSAs and CTAs are associated with cancer risk.

TL;DR: This review summarises the multidisciplinary work undertaken in the framework of the European project DoReMi (Low Dose Research towards Multidisciplinary Integration) to identify the most appropriate biomarkers for use in population studies and proposes a temporal classification of biomarkers that may be relevant for molecular epidemiology studies which need to take into account the time elapsed since exposure.

TL;DR: The population around the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan provides an unparalleled opportunity for the analysis of the genetic risk of ionizing radiation to humans.
