- W2040678749 abstract "Several years ago tables of estimates of the so-called probability of causation were prepared and published to facilitate the compensation of cancer victims with an exposure to radiation prior to the diagnosis of cancer. The probability of causation is defined as the probability that a particular cancer in an individual was caused by an identified radiation exposure prior to diagnosis of the cancer. Probability of causation estimates were intended to be used to compensate victims of radiogenic cancers. We propose offering compensation to persons who received certain clearly identifiable exposures to ionizing radiation above natural background before some of them become cancer victims. First we discuss some types and circumstances of radiation exposures for which such compensation should be offered. The {open_quotes}equity postulate,{close_quotes} that compensation should restore the expected quality of life-measured in dollars-of an exposed person to that of an unexposed person, yields a formula for estimating the appropriate compensation. Interestingly this formula, first stated by D.V. Lindley, contains the probability of causation as a factor. An application of the formula to A-bomb survivor data on leukemia and discussion of estimation problems associated with this formula conclude the paper." @default.
