Second primary malignancies (SPMs) occurring after oncological treatment have become a
major concern during the past decade. Their incidence has long been underestimated …

PURPOSE: After successful treatment of cancers in childhood, the occurrence of second
malignant neoplasm (SMN) came to the fore. Few studies have considered the relationship …

Abstract Currently, 17–19% of all new primary malignancies occur in survivors of cancer,
causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Research has shown that cancer treatments are …

More than half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy as a part of their treatment. With
the increasing number of long-term cancer survivors, there is a growing concern about the …

Abstract Suit, H., Goldberg, S., Niemierko, A., Ancukiewicz, M., Hall, E., Goitein, M., Wong, W.
and Paganetti, H. Secondary Carcinogenesis in Patients Treated with Radiation: A Review …

Background Improvements in cancer survival have made the long-term risks from treatments
more important, including the risk of developing a second cancer after radiotherapy. We …

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows dose to be concentrated in the tumor
volume while sparing normal tissues. However, the downside to IMRT is the potential to …

Information concerning radiation-induced malignancies comes from the A-bomb survivors
and from medically exposed individuals, including second cancers in radiation therapy …

Recent advances in radiotherapy have enabled the use of different types of particles, such
as protons and heavy ions, as well as refinements to the treatment of tumours with standard …

PURPOSE: To compare intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with three-dimensional
conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in terms of carcinogenic risk for actual clinical scenarios …
