Risk of Hematologic Malignant Neoplasms From Abdominopelvic Computed Tomographic Radiation in Patients Who Underwent Appendectomy

Abstract

This study controlled for reverse causation bias by defining the reasons for CT scan, and findings suggest that abdominopelvic CT radiation is associated with a higher incidence of hematologic malignant neoplasms. Efforts should be continued for judicious use of CT examinations.
