“…The average female breast dose did not change substantially and remained about 0.15 Gy. In the French study the breast and thyroid doses are lower, 0.070 Gy [13] and 0.041 Gy [14] respectively, which might depend on their use not only of 226 Ra applicators but also some b emitters. In the thymus study where the children had been exposed to X-ray radiation toward the chest, the updated breast and thyroid doses are higher, 0.71 Gy [15] and 1.29 Gy [16] respectively, than in our study.…”

“…The mammary gland is sensitive to radiation-associated carcinogens particularly in patients who were exposed to radiation in childhood [38]. The breast cancer risk occurs even thirty years after irradiation [39] and Lundell et al expands the estimated risk up to 50 years [40].…”

A b s t r a c tIn the past, vascular anomalies were divided into vascular malformations and vascular tumors. Radiotherapy was one of the leading methods of treatment for vascular malformations and infantile haemangiomas in the past and considered as harmless in those days. Many years later it turned out that management was not necessary and dangerous, even responsible for possible skin cancers appeared within areas exposed to radiotherapy in the future. The case report shows the presence of squamous cell carcinoma within the irradiated vascular malformation of the frontotemporal area in early childhood. The lesion was surgically removed, the defect was covered by split thickness skin graft. The histopathological evaluation confirmed the carcinoma as well as its complete resection. Assessing the adult patients with vascular anomaly one should be aware of possible radiation therapy for that malformation in the past, then the evaluation of the skin must be careful and focused on possible neoplasmatic lesions. K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : radiotherapy, vascular malformations, squamous cell carcinoma.

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women. It is believed that among the causes of breast cancer, hereditary factors account for only 5-10% of risk and the environmental exposures to environmental contaminants account for an additional 30-50% of risk. This paper summarizes findings related to the risk of breast cancer due to exposure to following environmental contaminants: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins, organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorous pesticides, bisphenol A, phthalates, parabens, organic solvents, atmospheric pollutants, alkylphenols, metals, ionizing radiation, electromagnetic field and light pollution. Results obtained in in vitro experiments with breast cancer cell lines and in vivo with model rodents as well as in population based case-control studies are presented and the mode of action of individual environmental contaminants on mammary gland is discussed. Attention is also devoted to the effects of the timing of exposure to environmental contaminants (mainly exposition during development of the mammary gland) on breast cancer risk. Outcomes of professional exposure to some environmental contaminants on breast cancer risk are analysed as well.

Breast cancer following radiotherapy for a hemangioma during childhood

Abstract: This study confirms that radiation treatment performed in the past for hemangioma during childhood increases the risk of BC.
