Yet the success of using radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or both for cure of a formerly lethal disease has not come without a price.1-3 Even though control of HD in early-stage and overall survival is approximately 90% at 10 years,4 survival is decreasing with more years of observation, primarily due to a higher than expected number of deaths from second malignancies. At 20 years after diagnosis, the cumulative risk of developing second cancers is approximately 10%, exceeding the cumulative risk of dying from the primary early-stage disease.4
For women whose HD was successfully treated at a young age, the main long-term concern is the increased risk of breast cancer.5 During the last decade, multiple studies6 have documented and characterized the risk of breast cancer after HD, and have established 3 facts. . . .
