Risk relates to the probability that an outcome (e.g. cancer) will occur. Terms relating to risk are grouped together here: Excess relative risk is the rate of disease in an exposed population divided by the rate of the disease in an unexposed population minus 1. This is often expressed as the excess relative risk per Sv. Relative risk is the rate of disease in an exposed population divided by the rate of the disease in an unexposed population.

Risk relates to the probability that an outcome (e.g. lung cancer) will occur. Terms relating to risk are grouped together here.

The probability of harmful or injurious consequences (e.g. cancer) associated with exposures or potential exposures in a year. It takes into account the probability of receiving a dose in a year, and the probability that the dose received will give rise to harm. Risk = likelihood of occurrence · seriousness if incident occurs.
