Table 1

Comparison of solid cancer mortality in the lifespan study of A-bomb survivors with Japanese cancer mortality. Japanese average cancer deaths were calculated by dividing cancer deaths by total deaths each year during 1958–2009 [2]. Averages corresponding to survey periods were determined

Reporters	Year	Survey period	No. hibakusha or [NICa]	No. cancer deaths (%)	% Japanese average cancer deaths
Preston et al. [3]	2007	1958–1998	105,427	17,448 (16.6)	21.4 (1958–1998)
			[25,427]	[3,994 (15.7)]
