Mutational Analysis of Ionizing Radiation Induced Neoplasms [PDF]
Ionizing radiation (IR) is a mutagen that promotes tumorigenesis in multiple exposure contexts. One severe consequence of IR is the development of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), a radiotherapy-associated complication in survivors of cancers ...

Risk of radiation-induced second malignant neoplasms from photon and proton radiotherapy in paediatric abdominal neuroblastoma [PDF]
Background and Purpose: State-of-the-art radiotherapy modalities have the potential of reducing late effects of treatment in childhood cancer survivors. Our aim was to investigate the carcinogenic risk associated with 3D conformal (photon) radiation (3D ...

Spontaneous and Radiation-Induced Chromosome Aberrations in Primary Fibroblasts of Patients With Pediatric First and Second Neoplasms [PDF]
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether former childhood cancer patients who developed a subsequent secondary primary neoplasm (SPN) are characterized by elevated spontaneous chromosomal instability or cellular and chromosomal ...

Radiation-induced neoplasms following curative therapy for retinoblastoma [PDF]
Twenty‐two cases of radiation induced neoplasms following curative therapy for retinoblastoma are reviewed, and three new cases are reported. Twenty‐four of the 25 growths were malignant, and most were of the osteogenic series and its variants. The young

Time Dependence of Radiation-induced Hypothalamic–Pituitary Axis Dysfunction in Adults Treated for Non-pituitary, Intracranial Neoplasms [PDF]
AIMS: Hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) dysfunction is a sequela of cranial radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to use endocrine data from existing publications to characterise the baseline endocrine status, the effects of radiotherapy on the HPA during the first follow-up year and the time dependence of radiation-induced HPA dysfunction in ...

Susceptibility Loci and Chromosomal Abnormalities in Radiation Induced Hematopoietic Neoplasms in Mice [PDF]
Genetics of susceptibility to radiation-induced hematopoietic neoplasms and somatic chromosomal aberrations were analyzed in 305 backcross (CcS-17xCcS-2)xCcS-2 mice of two CcS/Dem recombinant congenic strains. Irradiated CcS-2 mice were previously shown to exhibit high frequency of myeloid neoplasms whereas irradiated CcS-17 mice were susceptible to T ...
