Could the high number of breast cancers be connected to the required chest x-rays baby-boomers were required to take to graduate high school?

We were not allowed to graduate without checking for TB by x-ray. I never then had heard of anyone with TB and don’t have a clue what it was about—but we all had x-rays. You have to wonder about this years later. This and also the frequency of above ground nuclear bomb testing in the 50’s. Could these unnecessary exposures to radiation be contributing to the “epidemic” we have now?
