Two patients developed breast cancer 14 and 8 years after treatment of Hodgkin's disease. Both had received mediastinal irradiation and MOPP chemotherapy. Because of the increased risk of breast cancer in women treated for Hodgkin's disease, as reported in the literature, we suggest the early initiation of periodic screening for breast cancer, to detect possible neoplasms at a more treatable stage.
两名患者在接受霍奇金淋巴瘤治疗后14年和8年患了乳腺癌。两人均接受过纵隔放疗和MOPP化疗。正如文献报道的那样，由于接受霍奇金淋巴瘤治疗的女性患乳腺癌的风险增加，我们建议尽早开始定期进行乳腺癌筛查，以便在更易于治疗的阶段发现可能的肿瘤。
