Abstract
To the Editor: In the March 19 issue, Boice et al.1 present data to indicate that radiotherapy for breast cancer contributes little to the already high risk of a second cancer in the opposite breast. They note, however, that the risk was significantly increased among women who underwent irradiation at a relatively young age (<45 years). They estimate that the average dose of radiation to the contralateral breast among the exposed women was 2.82 Gy. This average dose exceeds that in other reports2 and may reflect technical factors such as the orientation of the anterior internal mammary field and the . . .
