Abstract

The incidence of second cancers after radiotherapy is increasing in the last years as a result of a higher number of long term-survivors after treatment and as a result of a longer follow-up. The risk of radiation-induced second cancers is much greater among young patients and children. The majority of second cancers occur in the organs and tissues in the high-dose volume; however, some may appear in the low dose volume. There are at least three different biological mechanisms leading to second cancers, depending on dose distribution and age of the irradiated patient.
