Marie Curie discovers radioactive elements Thorium, Polonium and Radium
Thorium: Key discovery in our understanding of the radioactive elements
Thorium 232 Decay chain
Thorium decays to Cancer causing isotopes
Thorium increases the risk of liver cancer, angiosarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma
Thorium Dioxide (Thorotrast) was used as a radiographic contrast agent in 1930
Liver cancer incidence in patients injected with Thorotrast was 80 %
