The guy lived for ten years after the accident. He spent the first four or five years undergoing chelation therapy daily to remove the radioisotopes from his body tissues. At the time of his death, the dose model suggested he would have about a 12% chance of not having cancer. He didn't have cancer.
So, he rolled a 1 on an 8-sided die and didn't get cancer in that time. If he had lived longer, cancer would be a near certainty, though it still might not have been what killed him.
- DataWorker 7y agoCancer is caused by longevity. If you live long enough you will probably have cancer too.
- dreamcompiler 7y agoCancer is not caused by longevity. It's statistically more likely the longer you live. So your second sentence is true, but your first sentence is false.
