Dose-response Relationships for
Other Important Late Side-effects
•
Lung cancer – approach similar to heart disease
with smoking as main risk factor
•
Contralateral breast cancer – contralateral
breast hard to contour on CT scans so different
approach to dose estimation needed, eg using
thermolunimescent dosimeters in tissue
equivalent phantoms
