Abstract

The authors examine the influence of ionogenic radiations on the onset of breast cancer. They remark the connection between the doses of radiations and the incidence of cancer and point out that the danger increases when the women is exposed to radiations during her fertile age. They present five cases of patients suffering from breast cancer where the exposition to radiations may have been a cause of the cancer.
