Previous reports of radiation‐related neoplasia have relied primarily upon patients treated
by orthovoltage to low doses for benign disease. This survey is believed to be the first to …

Abstract From 1953 to 1975, 330 children received megavoltage for benign or malignant
tumors. Fourteen subsequently developed second neoplasms. The 30‐year cumulative …

BACKGROUND Because ionizing radiation is a known carcinogen, diligent long‐term follow‐
up in children exposed to therapeutic radiation is required. The authors updated an earlier …

Radiation‐induced cancer, although fortunately a rare complication of radiotherapy, is
nonetheless observed occasionally even after megavoltage radiation has been used. Over a …

Due to the long latency period for solid tumor induction (median 12–13 years), the radiation-
induced malignancies now being observed are mostly related to the era of kilovoltage …

We estimated the risk of subsequent bone cancer among 9170 patients who had survived
two or more years after the diagnosis of a cancer in childhood. As compared with the …

This study was conducted to determine the outcome of patients who develop a second
neoplasm after radiotherapy (RT) for a childhood solid tumor. From 1956 to 1998, 429 …

The distinctive feature of the atomic bomb is the large amount of radiant energy that it
produces. While this energy covers a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, its chief …

BACKGROUND It has been claimed that external radiation, as a treatment modality for
malignant diseases, partly induces apoptosis. It is not known, however, whether therapeutic …

Radiation induced neoplasia was assessed in a uniform population—children treated with
irradiation for retinoblastoma. The incidence of radiation induced neoplasia varied with …
