Description

Radiation therapy is used as a radical treatment for many cancers and is delivered in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, frequently combined with other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy and surgery. However, radiation exposure is a well established risk factor for developing secondary malignancies. Soft-tissue sarcomas are the most common types of radiation-induced tumors in the general population.
