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

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 …

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 …

A 50-year-old female with metastatic colon carcinoma had previously received 12 courses of
oxaliplatin on a clinical trial without any allergic reactions. Although her tumor was …

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 …

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 …

The purpose of this Symposium is to ascertain whether cure rates are sufficiently increased
by supervoltage irradiation to warrant the installation of super-voltage apparatus in all …

While osteogenic sarcoma has been well‐recognized as a late complication of exposure to
high doses of ionizing radiation in the orthovoltage energy range, it has been less frequently …

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 …
