Breast cancer; prior lymphoma radiation
I have a case of an otherwise health 50 ish year old with a T1 luminal A breast cancer. MRI breast staging confirms T1N0M0.
Prior radiation for Hodgkin's at age 15.
I know the boards answer here, but it's so tempting to consider this for APBI if she desires BCS. I think cosmestically, etc it'll be fine. I guess my biggest worry is just lifetime risk of further breast cancers.
So I'm leaning mastectomy(ies) here.
Thoughts?
