Re: risk of cancer increases with exposure to low dose radiation

Hi Lani,

Do you have any links to studies on low dose radiation?

Thanks so much

Re: risk of cancer increases with exposure to low dose radiation

What are you referring to? Risk of all kinds of cancer from CT scans etc?

Risk of cancer in xray technicians, female orthopaedic surgeons, flight attendants of airlines utilizing the polar route?

If you google low dose radiation and cancer, or put the same in pubmed, you will get an avalanche.

If you ask about her2+ bc specifically, I haven't really found anything particular.

Hope this helps

Thank you Lani,
I was wondering about long term radiation exposure and any breast cancer. I don't recall seeing much about that but will google and get that avalanche going
