Is there a real risk of radiation-induced breast cancer for postmenopausal women?

Radiation and environmental biophysics - 1 Jun 2001

Jung H

Abstract excerpt

The risk of radiation-induced breast cancer decreases with increasing age at exposure. Thus, for calculating the individual risk for a patient undergoing mammography, age-related risk coefficients need to be used. In this report, the results of epidemiological studies on risks of radiation-induced breast cancer are reviewed indicating that the available data do not show the risk to be enhanced for women exposed...
