'''Cancer risk in adults''' describes the remaining lifetime risk of cancer in adults associated with exposure to PCBs and PCDD/Fs though fish ingestion in the target European country.
'''Total cancer risk in adults in Beneris''' describes the relationship between exposure to dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) due to fish intake and the remaining lifetime cancer risk in adult Beneris population.

Cancer risk in adults is represented as a function of parent variables and is indexed by variable age. It applies to last two age categories and to adults in general (individuals aged 18 years and older).
Total cancer risk in adults in Beneris estimates the remaining lifetime risk of developing any type of cancer and is represented as a function of parent variables. It applies to two age groups of the Beneris population, i.e adults aged 18-55yr and 55yr+ (gender combined).

Scope

Total cancer risk in adults in Beneris describes the relationship between exposure to dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) due to fish intake and the remaining lifetime cancer risk in adult Beneris population.

Definition

Total cancer risk in adults in Beneris estimates the remaining lifetime risk of developing any type of cancer and is represented as a function of parent variables. It applies to two age groups of the Beneris population, i.e adults aged 18-55yr and 55yr+ (gender combined).

Causality

List of parent variables:

Data

Baseline cancer risk represents the remaining lifetime risk of cancer incidence in Finland in 2006. It is estimated based on Lifetime cancer risk in Finland and it equals to 0.45 and 0.34 in age groups 18-55yr and 55yr+, respectively.

Unit

probability (unitless)

Formula

General formula (omitting unit conversion):
Remaining_Lifetime_Cancer_Risk = Baseline_Remaining_Lifetime_Cancer_Risk+ERF_of_dioxin*(Dioxin_Intake_Fish-Average_Dioxin_Intake_Fish) +ERF_of_PCBs*(PCB_Intake_Fish-Average_PCB_Intake_Fish)
