Abstract
A 22‐year‐old woman developed breast cancer 15 years after radiotherapy to the lung for metastatic Wilms' tumor. Her 32‐year‐old mother died of bilateral breast cancer, suggesting a genetic predisposition to radiogenic cancer. Recent improvements in the survival of children with certain cancers necessitate long‐term surveillance for iatrogenic neoplasia, particularly when familial susceptibility is evident.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
