"I consider Gofman one of the greatest teachers of the 20th century.
His work has already changed the way the world views the dangers
of
radiation, and his latest book will -- eventually, after a long fight
-- revolutionize the way the world looks at medical radiation.
Cumulatively his work will save tens of millions of lives."

Hypothesis-1: Medical radiation is a highly important cause (probably the principal cause) of cancer mortality in the United States during the Twentieth Century. Medical radiation means, primarily, exposure by xrays (including fluoroscopy and CT scans).
