* This news is based on the following article: Teras LR, Diver WR, Turner MC, et al. Residential radon exposure and risk of incident hematologic malignancies in the Cancer Prevention Study-II Nutrition Cohort. Environ Res 2016; 148: 46-54. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2016.03.002

The findings of this study suggest that residential radon exposure may be a risk factor for hematologic cancers in women, particularly lymphoid malignancies. Further study is needed to confirm this.
