- Abstract
The article presents a research study which examined breast cancer surveillance practices among women who were previously treated with chest radiation for childhood cancer. 625 women aged 25 to 50 years old who were participating in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study were given a 114 item questionnaire. Results were compared with pediatric cancer survivors not treated with chest radiation. 63.6% of women aged 25 through 39 years old and 23.5% of women aged 40 through 50 had not had breast cancer mammography screening within the previous two years.
