At a press conference during the ASCO 2012 Annual Meeting in Chicago, June 1st - June 4th, Dr Chaya Moskowitz presents data from a study which found that female survivors of childhood cancer treated with radiation to the chest had a high risk of developing breast cancer at a young age, comparable to that of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
