Abstract
Based on the calculation of the excess lifetime risk of cancer of various organs and systems as a result of total exposure in employees of X-ray diagnostic hospitals in Minsk, it was shown that in men the likelihood of oncopathology is more pronounced in relation to the intestines, lungs and bladder. In women, the critical organs are the mammary gland and lungs. In the process of carcinogenesis, both in one and the other case, other organs may be involved. At the same time, the likelihood of developing malignant tumors in the esophagus, rectum, pancreas and thyroid gland is low. These data are consistent with the results of other researchers, although data on the risk of oncopathology in health workers are very contradictory. The risk of developing tumors at a young age in both men and women is much higher.
The data obtained imply the need for a properly organized medical examination in relation to the personel of the X-ray diagnostic departments of medical institutions of the republic.
