Risk of second malignancies after prostate irradiation?

DISCUSSION:

Up to now, all available data are highly heterogeneous. Thus, a low

risk for secondary cancer cannot be ruled out completely

Nevertheless, it seems very unlikely that there is a relevant

risk for secondary cancer since the largest of the published

series did not document an increased risk for any secondary

cancer.
