Should Cancer Survivors Fear Radiation-Induced Sarcomas?
Purpose/Results. Ionizing radiation is carcinogenic and the induction of a second malignancy is a serious potential long-term complication of radiotherapy. The incidence of radiation-induced sarcomas was evaluated from many large epidemiological surveys of long-term cancer survivors reported in the literature over the past 30 years and only one case was found for every 1000 patients irradiated....
متن کاملEpidemiological research on radiation-induced cancer in atomic bomb survivors
The late effects of exposure to atomic bomb radiation on cancer occurrence have been evaluated by epidemiological studies on three cohorts: a cohort of atomic bomb survivors (Life Span Study; LSS), survivors exposed IN UTERO : , and children of atomic bomb survivors (F1). The risk of leukemia among the survivors increased remarkably in the early period after the bombings, especially among child...
متن کاملFear of cancer recurrence in prostate cancer survivors.
Background High fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is an understudied topic in prostate cancer (PCa) survivors. This study aimed to detect the prevalence, consequences and characteristics associated with high FCR in PCa survivors. Material and methods This cross-sectional study included patients diagnosed with localized PCa and treated with curative radical prostatectomy between 1992 and 2012. We ...
متن کاملSpecific TP53 mutation pattern in radiation-induced sarcomas.
The mutagenic properties of ionizing radiation are well known, but the presence of specific mutations in human radiation-induced tumours is not established. We have studied a series of 36 secondary sarcomas arising in the irradiation field of a primary tumour following radiotherapy. The allelic status and the presence of mutations of the TP53 gene were investigated. The mutation pattern was com...
متن کاملRepair of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage and risk of second cancer in childhood cancer survivors.
The study's purpose was to assess whether individuals who developed a second malignant neoplasm (SMN) after treatment for a first malignant neoplasm (FMN) had a lower ability to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using a bioassay with γH2AX intensity as a surrogate endpoint. In a case-control study nested in a cohort of childhood cancer survivors, lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were estab...
