Doctors jailed over cancer radiation scandal - The Local: A French court on Wednesday sentenced two doctors and a radiophysicist to 18 months in prison for their role in radiation overdoses given to nearly 450 cancer patients.
At least 12 people have died as a result of the overdoses administered to patients at the Jean Monnet hospital in Epinal in northeastern France between 2001 and 2006.
Dozens more are seriously ill as a result of calibration errors that produced the most serious radiation overdose incident France has known.
