Thanks for posting this link. I do not find this hard to believe, as I think having had radiation treatment puts at higher risk for quite a few types of cancers.
The treatment Mayor Giuliani chose for Prostate cancer also increases the risk of colorectal cancer. The VA stopped funding it. (Of course, the VA is getting bad press right now and surely well deserved) but they may have been right on this call. Time will tell.
