A member asked:
Is there a link between excessive x-ray exposure during childhood and paget's disease of breast later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: I cannot find literature to support previous x-ray exposure as a cause of paget's disease of the breast. However, radiation therapy to the breast received during hodgkin's lymphoma treatment in the past has led to increased risk of breast cancer in female survivors.
