Abstract
There are some radiation-sensitive genetic conditions where, if breast cancer occurs (as it may occur in any individual, not necessarily due to an increased risk associated with the condition), radiation should be avoided. These conditions are often associated with dysmorphic features. If such features are noticed then the advice of a geneticist should be sought urgently prior to giving radiation.
