Abstract
Assessment of late effects in a cohort of female Hodgkin's lymphoma patients treated with mantle radiotherapy, identified from the DoH breast cancer screening recall showed high mortality and frequent undiagnosed abnormalities in tissues affected by radiotherapy. With increasing age, this patient group may suffer premature cardiac and respiratory morbidity.British Journal of Cancer (2006) 94, 469–472. doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6602974 www.bjcancer.com Published online 7 February 2006 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
