“The study, which looked at 2,000 women with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic markers in the Netherlands, France and the U.K. between 2006 and 2009, found women under 30 who experienced chest radiation had 43 precent increased risk of developing breast cancer over women who didn’t have exposure to chest radiation. Exposure before age 20 increased the risk by 62 percent. ‘We believe countries who use mammograms in women under 30 should reconsider their guidelines,’ one of the study’s authors, Anouk Pijpe of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, told the Associated Press.”
