Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant disease in women. Amongst other risk factors such as age, life style, genetic factors and hormone status, exposure to ionizing irradiation is a known risk factor. Markers of radiation-associated breast cancer have been now identified at the DNA-, miRNA- and protein levels providing the starting point for the identification and personalized treatment of secondary, radiation-induced breast cancer.
