Outline of Final Research Achievements

Epidemiological studies on both atomic-bomb survivors and patients with radiotherapy have shown that breast tissue is one of the organs with high risk of radiogenic cancer. Astronauts working at the International Space Station need to consider the exposure to neutron beams, because it has high biological effects. Although it is generally known that the risk of sporadic breast cancer depends on reproductive history, little is known about the effect of parity on radiogenic breast cancer. In this study, we found, using rat model, that whereas the risk of spontaneous mammary cancer has been only slightly, but not significantly, decreased by parity,the risk of breast cancer induced by radiation, either γ-ray (4 Gy) or neutrons (0.05 - 0.5 Gy), was almost completely suppressed.
