Abstract
The incidence of malignant neoplasms in the population is one of the most important medical and social problems. Compared to higher doses, the risks of low doses of radiation will obviously be lower and significantly larger epidemiological studies are required to quantify the risk with an acceptable degree of accuracy. During the study, from 1989 to 2024, the oncological morbidity of 1838 employees of the Polesie State Radiation-Ecological Reserve was studied. Based on the data, 160 cases of malignant neoplasms were identified, with an expected value of 176,51 (SIR=0,9 (0,77-1,06)), which is 10% lower than the population level (p>0,05).
