Women warned of breast cancer risk
by Vivien Meath
WOMEN in the Ribble Val ley who have received chest radiotherapy for Hodgkin’s Disease at a time when they were under the age of 35 could face an increased risk
of developing breast cancer. Most of the 450 women from
Lancashire and South Cumbria were treated at Christie's in Man chester, although 16 were treated at Rosemere Centre in Preston. They are all to be contacted and offered counselling and regular screening. Hodgkin’s Disease is a type of
cancer affecting the lymphatic system. For many years radio therapy has been a successful treatment. Because the cure rate has been so high, and a large number of patients'are still alive many years later, doctors now know more about the long term side effects. Recent research seems to sug
gest that women who had radio therapy to the chest, including parts of their breasts, when they were under the age of 35, do have an increased rate of breast cancer. The younger the woman when
she was treated, the higher the risk. Women who were under the
age of 16 when they were treated have a one in three risk of devel oping breast cancer before they reach 50. This falls to one in seven for women treated as young adults. The likelihood of breast cancer increases with age in all women to around one in 50 by the age of 50. But in women who have received mantle radiotherapy for Hodgkins Disease, that risk rises to one in nine. Since many of the women con
cerned are younger than 50, the age of women who are usually invited for breast screening, an expert advisory group (including representatives from the Lym phoma Association, Cancer BACUP and Breakthrough Breast Cancer), has advised the Department of Health that they should be contacted and offered support. Cancer networks throughout
can be picked up and treated at the earliest opportunity. All women who are identified will have received notification by the end of January 2004. ., ; Dr Graham Read, medical
director for,the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Network, expiained:“The risk has not arisen because radiotherapy was given incorrectly. Since the 1960s and the advent of linear accelera tors it has been a very successful way of treating Hodgkin’s Dis ease, and no woman with the dis ease, was ever going to refuse the chance of life now because of a risk later. “In fact, the very success of the
the country have been asked to identify women who, since 1962, have had this kind of radiothera py for Hodgkin’s Disease, so that they can have regular follow-up investigations. They will be given the chance to talk to a health pro fessional and then have the oppor tunity of regular screening in the way most appropriate for them. This will mean that they are made a priority, and should they go on to develop breast cancer, it
Company will create jobs by factory move
ULTRAFRAME,
Clitheroe-based conservatory system company, will create more than 20 new jobs with the opening of a new factory at Accrington. Current production of the
the
company’s industry-leading Ultralite 500 “roof in a box” system will switch from a site in Bristol to the new and mod ernised plant next to the M65, at Accrington. Managers hope to have the new site operational by the end
of this month. Mr Nick Gale, managing
director of Ultraframe UK, commented: “We are delighted
to provide additional jobs in Lancashire. Our new plant will be fully equipped to respond to the continued high demand for Ultralite 500, for conservato ries. “The focal workforce and
modern plant will play an important part in our continued success and business efficiency.” The Ultralite 500 consists of
glazed panels “zipped” together by aluminium beams. I t is a popular system for lean-to con servatories and is the only answer for bungalows or awk ward shaped homes, due to its unique low-pitch roof.
Workers answer appeal

treatment means that women have lived long enough for us to become aware that there was a risk at all. For the past five years, because machinery is more high tech and we have new drug thera pies, we have been able to reduce the amount of radiotherapy we give.” Around 450 women in the
Greater Manchester, Lancashire and South Cumbria area are like ly to be affected. Since the Rosemere Cancer
Centre in Preston only opened in 1997, women who lived in Lan cashire and South Cumbria will have been treated at the Christie Hospital in Manchester.
A team led by Professor John
Radford is currently working, to identify the women and will be contacting them over the next few months. Initially they will then be given
the opportunity of seeing one of the team at the Christie Hospital where they were treated, but it is hoped-that it will be possible to offer follow-up screening locally. Dr Read added: “Although it is
understandable that women will be anxious, we do want to stress that there is no immediate cause for concern, and they should not worry while they are waiting to be contacted some time in the next three months. “If they would like to talk to
someone in the mean time, several telephone helplines are available and will be able to offer advice and reassurance.” Women who have not had

Top sport award for Valley high school
A CLITHEROE high school has received a national Sportsmark award from Sport England in recognition of its commitment to physical education and sports provision. Ribblesdale High School Tech
nology College is one of just 10 schools in England to be award ed the prestigious Sportsmark Gold Award in the final wave of presentations for 2003. A further 37 schools achieved the standard Sportsmark Award. Sport England's chief execu
tive Roger Draper congratulated the schools On their achievement. He said: “We are finding more
and more of our young people are becoming overweight as a result of their diet and a seden tary lifestyle. We need to re emphasise the benefits of physi- eal education, sport and physical activity to children and young people through positive first experiences at school.” Ribblesdale High won the
Sportsmark Gold Award for doing just that. Staff have shown a dedication to bring PE and sport to the fore of the school’s focus and have encour aged pupils to be active both in and out of lessons and within the community. Sportsmark is awarded to
schools that have effective poli cies and practices for the provi sion of a well-balanced physical education programme; for devel oping an out-of-school-hours programme that offers a range of opportunities to students and for enabling young people to move from school sport to their wider community. Sportsmark Gold is a higher
award for schools that take their commitment further and can demonstrate an^outstanding commitment to school sport pro vision.. The awards are valid for three
years.
Pregnant wife called police because of fear
A CONCERNED wife called the police after her husband head-butted a wall with such force that he caused damage to the wall. Khalid Nawaz (29), of Lime
Street, Clitheroe, admitted a breach of the peace and was bound over in the sum of £100 to keep the peace for six months by Blackburn magistrates. Miss Joanne Shahzada (prose
cuting) said that when police arrived they found Nawaz’s wife very frightened and upset.
“He had become upset and
had thrown a lamp across the room before butting the wall,’ said Miss Shahzada. “His wife had run out and
called the police.” Mr Basharat Ditta (defend'
ing) said the wife, who was at the back of court, was seven-and-a- half months pregnant. “She hadn’t eaten all day, he
had made her a meal and when she didn’t want that he accepts that his behaviour was not what it should have been,” he said.
Helping hand 'for children
A COLLECTION in Sains- bury’s supermarket and the town centre of Clitheroe raised £309 for the Children’s Society. The Rev. Rodney Nicholson,
chairman of the local'action group, said that the members had now raised a total of more than £1,400 this year through various events for the Children’s
Society's work amongst disad vantaged young people. The society’s many projects
include help for young runaways, support for children who are bul lied at school, providing an alter native to prison for young offenders and help for unaccom panied children who have sought refuge in this country.
