Adequate protection cannot be guaranteed by standard personal protective equipment for breast tissue; employers should invest in protective gear that ensures the safety of all employees. In an article recently published in The BMJ, doctors advocate for improved ionizing radiation protection for wom
Standard personal protective equipment fails to adequately protect breast tissue from ionizing radiation exposure, posing a higher risk of breast cancer in female healthcare workers. Employers are urged to invest in protective gear that ensures the safety of all employees, including additional protection such as capped sleeves and axillary wings to better shield vulnerable breast areas.
Personal protective equipment such as lead gowns are used to shield the body from harmful radiation during these procedures. But studies have shown that current radiation PPE provides inadequate protection to breast tissue as it leaves the area close to the armpit exposed. They point to observational evidence suggesting an increase in breast cancer risk among female US orthopedic surgeons compared with an age-matched female population, and to a small Finnish study showing breast cancer at 1.7 times the expected rate in radiologists, surgeons, and cardiologists compared with female physicians not working with radiation.
