Article Title: Breast cancer following spinal irradiation for a childhood cancer: A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
Abstract: It has been suggested that pediatric patients treated with spinal irradiation may have an elevated risk of breast cancer. Among a cohort of 363 long-term survivors of a pediatric central nervous system tumor or leukemia treated with spinal irradiation, there was little evidence of an increased breast cancer risk. © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
