Description

The authors report an analysis of clinical-pathological characteristics of radio-induced breast cancers registered in six French centres. 82 breast cancers concerning 75 women have been analyzed in terms of patient age, cancer type, interval between both cancers. It appears that radio-induced cancers exhibited significantly more aggressive characteristics. The screening of young women at risk is therefore recommended for an early diagnosis and treatment.
