Radiation can inactivate cells that are replaced by dividing neighboring cells. If cells on the way to malignancy can fill the deficit faster than healthy cells, their number increases. A major part of the radon-induced lung cancers in the Colorado miners can be explained by a moderate increase in the replacement probability.Entities:
