Patterns of diagnostic imaging and associated radiation exposure among long-term survivors of young adult cancer: a population-based cohort study

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Corinne Daly from the recent evidence has demonstrated that genetic factors may further heighten the association between diagnostic radiation and cancer risk in some groups [7, ] (although not all young adults may have an increased genetic risk for developing cancer)In the example of breast cancer, young carriers of the BCRA , and , mutations may experience an increased risk of breast cancer at radiation dose levels considerably lower than those associated with an increased breast cancer risk in other cohorts exposed to radiation [15]. Patients diagnosed with a malignancy at a young age who survive have a . . .
