111.	Breast Cancer-Some Common Myths 2007-06-26 19:35:25 Myth: Radiation therapy increases the chances of the breast cancer spreading. Radiation therapy is done with the intention of reducing the spread of the cancer. Therefore, if you have cancer in one breast and if you go for radiation therapy for it, the chance of it spreading to the other breast does not exist. However, teenage girls who receive chest radiation for Hodgkin's disease do run the risk of developing breast cancer because newly developing breasts are vulnerable to damage by radiation.

Pain is very rarely the only indication of breast cancer. However only 10 percent of breast cancers are linked with pain.
