A member asked:
Can there be a relation between coronary artery disease(cad) and a breast cancer ?

Only after radiation: No direct relation of cancer with cad. There can be a slight increase in CAD 10 or more years after radiation therapy associated with breast cancer treatment, this is on negative side of radiation therapy, however benefits of radiation therapy as part of treatment for breast cancer outweigh risks. So risk of develpoing CAD should not influence a patient itno refusing recommended radiation therapy.
