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 ...

Intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas as a radiation induced malignancy [PDF]
Pancreatic malignancies account for 3% of all cancer diagnoses in the UK and prognosis is poor with overall 1-year survival rates at 20% and 5-year survival rates at 5%. The majority of these cancers (75%–95%) arise from the exocrine part of the gland and are almost all invasive ductal adenocarcinomas.

Genetic Features of Metachronous Esophageal Cancer Developed in Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Breast Cancer Long-Term Survivors: An Exploratory Study. [PDF]
Background Development of novel therapeutic drugs and regimens for cancer treatment has led to improvements in patient long-term survival. This success has, however, been accompanied by the increased occurrence of second primary cancers.

Radiation-induced intracranial neoplasms. A report of three possible cases [PDF]
The pathologic findings are described in three patients who developed second intracranial neoplasms after irradiation for central nervous system malignancy. The second neoplasms were an astrocytoma, an ependymoma, and multiple meningiomas. All were histologically different from the first neoplasms and appeared in the field of irradiation between 3 and ...

Radiation-associated sarcoma of the skull base after irradiation for pituitary adenoma
Secondary, radiation-induced neoplasms represent a significant long-term risk after radiation treatment, and radiation-induced sarcomas (RAS) have an especially poor prognosis. These have rarely been reported after irradiation for pituitary adenomas.

Radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the vagina and vulva: Case report and review of literature
Angiosarcomas are uncommon malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of endothelial origin. They may be primary or secondary to radiation exposure, chronic lymphedema or to other associated risk factors.

Radiation-induced myeloid leukemia in murine models. [PDF]
The use of radiation therapy is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment. The number of patients that undergo radiation as a part of their therapy regimen is only increasing every year, but this does not come without cost.
