Although aplastic anemia has not increased as a late effect of the atomic bomb radiation exposure, many atypical leukemia or other myeloproliferative diseases who had been diagnosed as aplastic anemia or its related diseases have been experienced among atomic bomb survivors. In the distribution of AML subtypes by FAB classification, there was no M3 case in 1 Gy or more group, although several atypical AML cases of survivors were observed. However, the threshold of acute leukemia appears to be nearly 1 Gy. The threshold of CML occurrence in Hiroshima is likely to be between 0.5-0.09 Gy. The ratio of a single leukemia type to all leukemias was highest for CML in Hiroshima, and the occurrence of CML was thought to be most characteristic to atomic bomb radiation induced leukemia. Dose estimates of atomic bomb radiation were based on T65D, but the new dosimetry system DS86 was used for some analyses.
