[The incidence of breast carcinoma following roentgen radiotherapy at the Marburg University Women's Clinic].

Even a large number of doctors are not informed about the fact that during the last ten years the dosage necessary for examination could be extremely reduced. In a follow-up examination of 61 females who had undergone a therapy of mastitis with a dosage of 3 X 80 R between 1949 and 1958, an enhanced risk of carcinoma could not be ascertained.
