Link Found Between X-rays and CT Scans and Prostate Cancer

Link found between X-rays and prostate cancer. Researchers have found your risk of contracting a rare form of prostate cancer doubles if you had hip and leg X-rays in the past 20 years. Your risk also increases if you had a barium enema. This rare form of prostate cancer hits younger men and is a bit more deadly. Bottom line is, X-rays and CT scans, even at low doses, are starting to show effects 15 and 20 years later.
