The comprehensive genomic impact of ionizing radiation (IR), a carcinogen, on healthy somatic cells remains unclear. Using large-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of clones expanded from irradiated murine and human single cells, we revealed that IR induces a characteristic spectrum of short insertions or deletions (indels) and structural variations (SVs), including balanced inversions, translocations, composite SVs (deletion-insertion, deletion-inversion, and deletion-translocation composites), and complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs), including chromoplexy, chromothripsis, and SV by breakage-fusion-bridge cycles. Our findings suggest that 1 Gy IR exposure causes an average of 2.

Objective: The primary goal was to evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities and changes in psychological distress levels among breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (RT). The secondary goal was to determine risk and protective factors for psychiatric comorbidities of these patients.

Methods: From June 2018 to November 2019, patients were recruited from the hospital, Department of Psychiatry.

Purpose: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy is increasing, despite unclear evidence of improving survival. To investigate the age-related risk factors for contralateral breast cancer (CBC).

Methods: This study included 8716 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic unilateral invasive breast cancer between 1989 and 2008.

Young breast cancer patients are more likely than old patients to experience ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast conserving surgery (BCS). However, the pathological processes underlying this relationship have not been elucidated. We investigated the effect of young age on IBTR in a Korean cohort of women with different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
