Abstract
Childhood and young adult survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma are at an elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Breast cancer risk is felt to originate from chest wall radiation exposure prior to the third decade of life, with incidence beginning to rise approximately eight to ten years following Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. Although incidence varies according to age at radiation exposure, dosage, and treatment fields, cohort studies have documented a cumulative incidence of breast cancer of 10-20% by 40 years of age. Women with a history of chest radiation for Hodgkin lymphoma are counselled to begin screening with bilateral breast MRI at 25 years of age, or eight years after radiation, whichever occurs later. Outside of high-risk surveillance, the optimal management approach for women with prior radiation exposure continues to evolve. When diagnosed with breast malignancy, evidence supports consideration of unilateral therapeutic and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, although breast conserving surgery may be considered following multidisciplinary assessment. This review will address the epidemiology, characteristics, screening and management guidelines, and breast-cancer prevention efforts for Hodgkin lymphoma survivors treated with radiation therapy in adolescence and young adulthood.

Abstract
Treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) has evolved, with modern treatments combining less toxic chemotherapy and radiation, leading to improved long-term disease-free survival. However, there is a higher chance of second cancer, especially breast cancer, following effective HL treatment. The impact of reduced radiation doses and volumes, as well as the use of advanced irradiation techniques, on the risk of second malignancy is not clear. According to medical organizations, the history of chest irradiation is a relative contraindication to breast preservation therapy for women with initial breast cancer, leading to a paradigm of mastectomy. This article proposes a discussion between radiation oncologists and surgeons to review major trials and recent developments on the prevalence of breast cancer following HL therapy, the risk of contralateral cancer, the feasibility of breast conserving surgery (BCS), as well as breast reconstruction modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with history of chest irradiation for Hodgkin lymphoma are at increased risk of developing bilateral breast cancer, although contralateral breast cancer risk estimates in this population remain undefined. METHODS We queried the SEER database for women treated with radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma prior to age 30 years and were diagnosed with a subsequent breast cancer between 1990-2016. Trends in surgical management and the 5- and 10-year cumulative incidence of contralateral breast cancer were evaluated. RESULTS The cohort included 295 women with a median age of 22 years (range 8-30 years) at Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis, and 42 years (range 22-65 years) at breast cancer diagnosis. Overall, 263 (89.2%) presented with unilateral breast cancer, while 32 (10.8%) presented with synchronous bilateral breast cancer. Breast-conserving surgery was performed in 17.3% of patients, while mastectomy was performed in 82.7%. In 263 patients presenting with unilateral breast cancer, 50 (19.0%) underwent breast-conserving surgery and 213 (81.0%) underwent mastectomy. Subgroup analysis of mastectomy patients demonstrated a 40.5% bilateral mastectomy rate. The 5-year incidence of contralateral breast cancer in women who underwent unilateral surgery was 9.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.6-15.4%], increasing to 20.2% (95% CI, 13.7-29.2%) at 10-year and 29.9% (95% CI, 20.8-41.9%) at 15-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Women with a history of prior chest radiation for Hodgkin lymphoma with a diagnosis of breast cancer have a 10-year contralateral breast cancer risk of 20%. These findings support consideration of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy during surgical decision-making for management of this high-risk patient population.

Abstract
Second breast cancer (SBC) is the most common solid cancer among Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) female survivors. We reviewed the related modifying risk factors, radiation-induced carcinogenesis, tumors characteristics, management specificities, prevention and surveillance modalities based on current evidence. The risk of developing SBC may be influenced essentially by the age at HL treatment, follow-up latency, dose of irradiation received and the extent of irradiated field. SBCs generally develop at younger age, they are often bilateral, and exhibit more aggressive biological features and worse prognosis. No firm answer about the benefits of breast surveillance is provided by literature, but compelling evidence tends toward a clinical benefit in early detection. Increasing awareness among health providers' care and current survivors as well as the implementation of screening measures is crucial. Great efforts are ongoing in individualizing treatment strategies for future HL patients and response-adapted approaches are holding promise in prevention of these second malignancies.

Abstract
Aims and background Women who have received radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Breast-conserving surgery followed by breast irradiation is generally considered to be contraindicated in such patients owing to the high cumulative radiation dose to the breast. Mastectomy is therefore recommended as the preferred treatment option in these women. Methods We report 3 patients affected by breast cancer who had previously been treated with mantle radiation for Hodgkin's disease and on whom breast-conserving surgery and full-dose intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (ELIOT) were performed. Results A total dose of 17 Gy (prescribed at 100% isodose) in one case and 21 Gy (at the 90% isodose) in two cases was delivered directly to the mammary gland without acute complications and with good cosmetic results. Conclusions In women previously irradiated for Hodgkin's disease, ELIOT could avoid repeat irradiation of the whole breast, thereby permitting conservative surgical treatment.

Abstract
The occurrence of secondary breast cancers in women previously exposed to chest irradiation for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is considered as a major issue for the quality of life of these long-term survivors as well as a challenge for clinical management. This study reports a case of a woman treated for HL at the age of 24 years, who developed breast cancer after an interval of 20 years. This case highlights once again the importance of awareness among HL survivors about their increased breast cancer risk and re-launches the debate about the efficacy of adoption of breast screening guidelines.

Abstract
The increase in survival after childhood radiation therapy for some blood malignancies has led to an increase in the diagnosis of radiation-induced secondary solid malignancies (SSM). We report a young man presenting with invasive breast cancer 19 years after receiving radiation therapy and bone marrow transplant for acute lymphocytic leukaemia in childhood. This latency period is longer than previously reported. Therefore, survivors of radiation-treated primary cancer should be closely monitored for SSM, including breast cancer, for the rest of their lives.

Abstract
Radiation therapy is an important and effective adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. Numerous health conditions may affect medical decisions regarding tolerance of breast radiation therapy. These factors must be considered during the decision-making process after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy for breast cancer. Here, we review currently available evidence focusing on medical conditions that may affect the patient-provider decision-making process regarding the use of radiation therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report characteristics and outcome of breast cancer after irradiation for Hodgkin lymphoma with special focus on breast conservation surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of 72 women who developed either ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I-III invasive carcinoma of the breast after Hodgkin lymphoma between 1978 and 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Median age at Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis was 23 years old. Median total dose received by the mediastinum was 40 Gy, mostly by a mantle field technique. Breast cancer occurred after a median time interval of 21 years. Ductal invasive carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ represented respectively 71% and 19% of the cases. Locoregional treatment for breast cancer consisted of mastectomy with or without radiotherapy in 39 patients and of lumpectomy with or without adjuvant radiotherapy in 32 patients. The isocentric lateral decubitus radiation technique was used in 17 patients after breast conserving surgery (57%). With a median follow-up of 7 years, 5-year overall survival rate and locoregional control rate were respectively 74.5% and 82% for invasive carcinoma and 100% and 92% for in situ carcinoma. Thirteen patients died of progressive breast cancer and contralateral breast cancer was diagnosed in ten patients (14%). CONCLUSIONS Breast conserving treatment can be an option for breast cancers that occur after Hodgkin lymphoma despite prior thoracic irradiation. It should consist of lumpectomy and adjuvant breast radiotherapy with use of adequate techniques, such as the lateral decubitus isocentric position.

Abstract
Secondary breast cancer represents 6 to 9% of secondary neoplasia after treatments for Hodgkin Disease (HD). Mostly, they appear 10 years after the end of treatments for HD. The most important risk factors are mantle field irradiation and the young age. The means of screening and treatments are still in discussion. We report a case of bilateral intraductal and invasive carcinoma that occurred 16 years after treatments for HD, developing its particularities in diagnosis and treatment, particularly place of conservative treatments and sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer is the most frequent secondary tumor for women treated for Hodgkin's disease. It is important to study the risk factors associated to be able to adapt the monitoring of these women. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study from Institut Bergonié, a comprehensive French Cancer Center, concerning the women treated for Hodgkin's disease and having developed a breast cancer. RESULTS Among 328 women treated for Hodgkin's disease between January 1968 and December 1994, 20 patients developed 25 breast cancers. The average age of the patients during the irradiation was 24 years and the average period of occurrence of the cancer was 19 years. An irradiation of the chest wall and an under-diaphragmatic irradiation in doses of 40Gy are risk factors for the occurrence of breast cancer. A young age, less than 30, in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease tend to be significant. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This population of women with a high risk of breast cancer thus has to benefit from an appropriate monitoring program, which is what we suggest setting up in the Institut Bergonié.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report clinical and pathologic characteristics and outcome of breast cancer (BC) after irradiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) in women treated at the Institut Curie, with a special focus on the breast-conserving option. METHODS AND MATERIALS Medical records of 72 women who developed either ductal carcinoma in situ or Stage I-III invasive carcinoma of the breast after HL between 1978 and 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Median age at HL diagnosis was 23 years (range, 14-53 years). Median total dose received by the mediastinum was 40 Gy, mostly by a mantle-field technique. Breast cancers occurred after a median interval of 21 years (range, 5-40 years). Ductal invasive carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ represented, respectively, 51 cases (71%) and 14 cases (19%). Invasive BCs consisted of 47 cT0-2 tumors (82%), 5 cN1-3 tumors (9%), and 20 Grade 3 tumors (35%). Locoregional treatment for BCs consisted of mastectomy with (3) or without (36) radiotherapy in 39 patients and lumpectomy with (30) or without (2) adjuvant radiotherapy in 32 patients. The isocentric lateral decubitus radiation technique was used in 17 patients after breast-conserving surgery (57%). With a median follow-up of 7 years, 5-year overall survival rate and locoregional control rate were, respectively, 74.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 64-88%) and 82% (95% CI, 72-93%) for invasive carcinoma and 100% (95% CI, 100 -100%) and 92% (95% CI, 79-100%) for in situ carcinoma. In patients with invasive tumors, the 5-year distant disease-free survival rate was 79% (95% CI, 69-91%), and 13 patients died of progressive BC. Contralateral BC was diagnosed in 10 patients (14%). CONCLUSIONS Breast-conserving treatment can be an option for BCs that occur after HL, despite prior thoracic irradiation. It should consist of lumpectomy and adjuvant breast radiotherapy with use of adequate techniques, such as the lateral decubitus isocentric position, to protect the underlying heart and lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary tumours (ST) represent a major concern in survivors of Hodgkin's disease (HD). Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent ST among young treated women. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and eighty-nine women treated for HD by radiotherapy (RT) and/or chemotherapy (CT) subsequently developed 214 BCs. RESULTS Median age at HD diagnosis was 25 years (34% were less than 20). Median interval between HD and BC was 18.6 years, with a 42-year median age at first BC. According to the TNM classification, there were 30 (14%) T0 (non palbable lesions), 86 (40%) T1, 56 (26%) T2, 13 (6%) T3T4 and 29 (14%) Tx. There were 25 (13.2%) contralateral BC. 160 (75%) and 15 (7%) tumours were infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinomas, 7 (3.3%) were other subtypes and 27 (22%) DCIS. The rate of axillary nodal involvement was 32%. Among 203 operated tumours, 79 (39%) were treated by breast conserving surgery (BCS), with RT in 56 (71%) cases. CT and hormonal treatment were delivered in 51% and 45% of the patients. With a 50-month median follow-up, local recurrence occurred in 12% of the tumours (9% after mastectomy, 21% after lumpectomy alone and 13.7% after lumpectomy with RT). Metastasis occurred in 47 (26%) patients. The risk factors were pN+, pT, high SBR grade and young age (< 50 years). The ten-year overall and specific survival rates were 53% and 63.5%, respectively. The ten-year specific survival rates were 79% for pT0T1T2, 48% for pT3T4 (p = 0.0002) and 79% for pN0 versus 38.5% for pN+ (p = 0.00026). Among 67 deaths, 43 (73%) were due to BC. CONCLUSION Patients and physicians should be aware that BC is the most frequent secondary tumour in young women treated for HD. The new RT modalities (lower doses and involved fields) may decrease the risk in the future. However, these women require a careful monitoring as from 8 to 10 years after HD treatment, combining mammography, ultrasound and MRI according to several ongoing studies. BC with whole breast irradiation is feasible in some selected cases.

Abstract
Background To evaluate diagnosis, management and outcome of breast cancer (BC) occurring after irradiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Methods 39 cases of BC in 28 HL survivors were retrospectively reviewed. 21 patients were included in a case-control analysis. Results The median age at diagnosis of HL and BC was 25.3 and 45.3 years, respectively. The median interval to develop BC was 16.1 years. Eleven women (39.2%) had bilateral disease. Mode of detection of the index breast cancers was by mammographic screening in 17 patients (60.7%), palpable lump in 8 patients (28.6%), clinical examination in two patients (7.1%), and unknown in one patient (3.6%). Case-control analysis showed that histological features and prognosis of BC after HL were similar to those of primary BC, however, for BC after HL, mastectomy was the predominant surgery (P = .001) and adjuvant radiotherapy and anthracycline-based chemotherapy were less frequently used as compared to primary BC (P < .001 and .003, respectively). Conclusion The previous history of HL does not appear to be a poor prognostic factor for BC occurring thereafter.

Abstract
The improved survival rates among patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma over the past few decades have come with increased incidence of second malignancies. One of the major concerns among female survivors is the significantly elevated risk of breast cancer that appears with extended follow-up. In this review, we include the published literature regarding the risk of breast cancer after irradiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma. We also present the possible long-term surveillance strategies and the optimal time to start screening these women. This could potentially help in early detection of secondary breast cancers and consequently improve outcomes. Furthermore, because of prior radiotherapy, the management of the breast cancer among this unique population has been controversial. We discuss the characteristics of breast cancer that occurs after Hodgkin's lymphoma and also treatment options that could be implemented.

Abstract
Background For patients suffering of recurrent breast cancer within the irradiated breast, generally mastectomy is recommended. The normal tissue tolerance does not permit a second full-dose course of radiotherapy to the entire breast after a second breast-conserving surgery (BCS). A novel option is to treat these patients with partial breast irradiation (PBI). This approach is based on the hypothesis that re-irradiation of a limited volume will be effective and result in an acceptable frequency of side effects. The following report presents a single center experience with intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) during excision of recurrent breast cancer in the previously irradiated breast. Methods Between 4/02 and 11/06, 15 patients were treated for in-breast recurrences at a median of 10 years (3–25) after previous EBRT (10 recurrences in the initial tumor bed, 3 elsewhere in-breast failures, 2 invasive recurrences after previous DCIS). Additional 2 patients were selected for IORT with new primary breast cancer after previous partial breast EBRT for treatment of Hodgkin's disease. IORT with a single dose of 14.7 – 20 Gy 50 kV X-rays at the applicator surface was delivered with the Intrabeam™-device (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Results After a median follow-up of 26 months (1–60), no local recurrence occurred. 14 out of 17 patients are alive and free of disease progression. Two patients are alive with distant metastases. One patient died 26 months after BCS/IORT due to pulmonary metastases diagnosed 19 months after BCS/IORT. Acute toxicity after IORT was mild with no Grade 3/4 toxicities and cosmetic outcome showed excellent/good/fair results in 7/7/3 cases. Conclusion IORT for recurrent breast cancer using low energy X-rays is a valuable option for patients with recurrent breast cancer after previous radiotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Therapeutic results of Hodgkin disease (HD) have improved by the use of combined radio-chemotherapy. However, this association can increase the risk of on-term effects including secondary cancers. In a retrospective study, we collected secondary breast cancer (BC) in patients previously treated with chemoradiotherapy for Hodgkin disease at Salah-Azaïz institute of Tunis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1975 and 2003, seven patients (six women and one man) treated for HD subsequently developed BC. Mean age at diagnosis of HD was 21 years (12-29). The first treatment was combined chemotherapy (MOPP-ABVD) and radiotherapy for all patients. Radiotherapy was delivered with cobalt 60 with large fields. The median dose was 41.3 Gy (2 Gy/fraction in 6 patients and 3.3 Gy in one). RESULTS The breast tumours occurred after a median delay of 204 months (132-276). According to the TNM classification, we showed two stage T2, one stage T3, two stage T4b and two stage T4d. The mean clinical size was 47 mm (25-80 mm). All patients had infiltrating carcinoma. Axillary node histological involvement was found in 6 cases. All patients were treated by mastectomy and chemotherapy. Only one patient had a locoregional irradiation. Median survival was 26.5 months (12-48). Four patients died and three are still alive at respectively 24, 31 and 144 months. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION According to the previous data, breast cancer represents 6.3 to 9% of all second cancers occurring after HD treatment. We conclude that especially young women and girls treated for HD should be carefully monitored. We suggest that secondary BC be sometimes treated by conservative radiosurgical approach.

Abstract
Introduction Patients who have undergone mantle radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease (HD) are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. In such patients, breast conserving surgery (BCS) followed by breast irradiation is generally considered contraindicated owing to the high cumulative radiation dose. Mastectomy is therefore recommended as the first option treatment in these women. Methods Six patients affected by early breast cancer previously treated with mantle radiation for HD underwent BCS associated with full-dose intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (ELIOT). Results A total dose of 21 Gy (prescribed at 90% isodose) in five cases and 17 Gy (at 100% isodose) in one case were delivered directly to the mammary gland without acute complications and with good cosmetic results. After an average of 30.8 months of follow up, no late sequelae were observed and the patients are free of disease. Conclusion In patients previously irradiated for HD, ELIOT can avoid repeat irradiation of the whole breast, permit BCS and decrease the number of avoidable mastectomies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To estimate the incidence and types of second neoplasms in survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer, as well as the characteristics of those who developed second neoplasms. METHODS Survivors who were under age 21 years at initial diagnosis, off therapy, and in remission for 2 years are referred to the Long Term Survivors' Clinic (LTSC) at Children's National Medical Center (CNMC). This review includes patients entered in the clinic database from January 1, 1997 to August 30, 2002. RESULTS Twenty-three (2.3%) of 987 childhood cancer survivors followed in the LTSC had 26 (2.6%) second and third neoplasms. The mean age was 6.7 years at initial diagnosis, 20.3 years at diagnosis of the second neoplasm, and 20.5 years at diagnosis of the third neoplasm. Of 10 female and 13 male patients, 15 were white, six black, one Hispanic, and one Asian. All but two of the patients received radiation. Nineteen neoplasms, including seven thyroid carcinomas, six central nervous system tumors (three meningiomas), three basal cell carcinomas, two breast cancers, and one soft tissue sarcoma, occurred at sites within or contiguous to radiation sites. Five patients died, but the majority of neoplasms were treatable and most patients had good outcomes. CONCLUSION Indefinite follow-up in a long-term survivors' clinic is indicated for adolescent and adult survivors of childhood cancer, with routine examination and screening for recurrence of the initial cancer as well as late effects, including second neoplasms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the overall risk of breast cancer and breast cancer characteristics in women given supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of 653 female patients who received supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn, between 1950 and 1993 were abstracted, and follow-up questionnaires were mailed. In 4 patients, breast cancer was diagnosed before Hodgkin lymphoma was discovered. RESULTS The median age of 649 patients at supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy was 31.8 years (range, 2.6-86.5 years). The median duration of follow-up was 8.7 years (range, < 1-47.9 years). In 30 patients, breast cancer developed (bilaterally in 4 patients) after supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy; the median interval was 19.9 years (range, 0.7-423 years). The median age at breast cancer diagnosis was 44.4 years (range, 27.5-70.8 years). The standardized morbidity ratio for breast cancer after supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy was 2.9 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 2.0-4.2) (P < .001). Breast cancer risk significantly increased 15 to 30 years after patients received supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy, and risk was inversely related to age at supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy until age 30 years. The standardized morbidity ratio for patients younger than 30 years at supradiaphragmatic radiation was 8.5 (95% CI, 53-13.1) vs 1.2 (95% CI, 0.5-2.2) for those aged 30 years or older (P < .001). Splenectomy increased breast cancer risk (P = .01). Breast cancer detection was by self-examination in 15 cancers, by mammography in 13, and by clinical examination in 4; in 2 cancers, the mode of detection was unknown. Modified radical mastectomy was used to treat breast cancer. CONCLUSION The increased risk of breast cancer in survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma given supradiaphragmatic radiation therapy appears to be limited to patients who are younger than 30 years at radiation therapy or to those who have undergone splenectomy.

Abstract
Although substantial progress has been made in the management of Hodgkin's lymphoma during the past 30 years, the development of secondary malignant diseases has emerged as a serious consequence of treatment. In particular, extended follow-up of patients with Hodgkin's disease has revealed an increased risk of breast cancer. We have systematically reviewed all published literature on breast cancer after treatment for Hodgkin's disease and show that high risk is particularly associated with treatment at a young age, mantle radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Breast cancers in this context differ from sporadic disease because they develop in younger women, are associated with a high incidence of bilateral disease, and are generally located near the midline of the body. The risk of breast cancer is lower in patients who receive newer, combined modality treatments for Hodgkin's disease. In this review we discuss a protocol for formal follow-up and screening of patients who have recovered from Hodgkin's disease to aid early diagnosis and ensure the possibility of effective management.
