These two papers will clearly start a scientific debate on the effect of ionizing radiation on BRCA1/BRCA2 carriers and whether genetic susceptibility to cancer induction substantially alters the radiation risks. Further studies will be necessary to establish whether X-ray mammography will reduce mortality and if these women are at greater risk from ionising radiation than the general population

is very interesting to see how the mammogram can affect a woman, a while ago I had the opportunity to see an article called sildenafil citrate, which came in some of the consequences suffered by women after taking this treatment
