ast cancer," the panel found.

"While we have not been able to find a cause for the increase in risk of breast cancer at the ABC Toowong, we believe that we have considered and excluded all plausible environmental explanations for such an increase," the report said.

But the panel recommended conducting similar investigations into the frequency of breast cancer among women who have worked on other ABC sites at some time since 1994.

Mr Scott said the assessment made by the expert panel after a 12-month study had been accepted by the ABC and further justified the decision to relocate all staff away from the Toowong site.

"We have also accepted the recommendation put forward by Professor Armstrong and the expert panel to conduct a study of breast cancer epidemiology of staff in other capital cities," he said.

"This study will be conducted by The Cancer Council in New South Wales and we expect to see a proposal for the undertaking of this work shortly."
