Radiation and breast cancer: a review of current evidence.

Breast cancer research : BCR - 1 Jan 2005

Ronckers Cécile M, Erdmann Christine A, Land Charles E

Abstract excerpt

This paper summarizes current knowledge on ionizing radiation-associated breast cancer in the context of established breast cancer risk factors, the radiation dose-response relationship, and modifiers of dose response, taking into account epidemiological studies and animal experiments. Available epidemiological data support a linear dose-response relationship down to doses as low as about 100 mSv. However, the...
