The rare occurrence of radiation associated sarcoma (RAS) is well known but the therapeutic benefit of initial radiotherapy for most cancers far outweighs the very small (0.03-0.2%) risk of RAS. The vast majority of second primary solid tumours after radiation are sarcomas of bone and soft tissues and occur after a median latent period of 10 years.

متن کاملRadiation-induced sarcoma in spine
Although radiotherapy is a part of treatment in cancers, it can also induce malignancy as a late complication. The presence of radiation-induced sarcomas in bone, although not very common, is acknowledged. The onset of radiation-induced sarcoma in the spine however, is not well recognized. We present here a case of radiation-induced fibrosarcoma in the T1 lamina and spinous process in a patient...
متن کاملKaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence from studies in humans. This conclusion is based on evidence from epidemiological and molecular studies, which show that KSHV causes Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and a plasmablastic variant of multicentric Castleman disease, and on supporting mechanistic data. KSHV causes ca...
