Re[2]: Radiation Effects

     While a lot is understood about cancer, causes and growth patterns, I 
     believe there is more that is not understood. For instance, yesterday 
     I heard a study that has demonstrated that the chance of a female to 
     have breast cancer increases when they move to one geographical area 
     and decreases when they move to a different area. This was true for 
     even those individuals who had a high incidence of family breast 
     cancer. The conclusion therefore was that the individual was not 
     necessarily born with the higher risk causal factors, and that 
     geography played a larger role in the probability that the individual 
     will or will not have a case of breast cancer. I found this to be very 
     interesting discovery.
     
     Is anyone familiar with the actual study and other conclusions?
