Abstract: Dear Editors:WE READ with interest the paper by Kocher et al. (2018) intended to “develop a probability distribution of a DDREF [dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor] for solid cancers induced by low-LET radiation that is an unbiased representation of the state of knowledge.”The DDREF is a factor
