RADIO-INDUCED SARCOMA AFTER TREATMENT OF A UCNT OF THE NASOPHARYNX: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Radiotherapy is one of the major components of cancer curative care. Due to improved treatments and to the overall increase in lifespan, we more often face dealing with late adverse effects including second cancers. The occurrence of radiation-induced sarcomas or radio-chemotherapy-induced ones, better known after Hodgkin disease treatment, breast cancer, has been exceptionally reported after treatment of an epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx.
