Radiation cancer in man, especially on the cases developed after irradiation for malignant conditions
Description
Twelve cases in which radiation cancer was observed at the Tohoku University are reported. Half of them had been treated for tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis, one for lupus vulgaris and five for various malignant conditions. The average latent period was 27 years in 7 cases which were treated for benign conditions and 13 years in 5 cases treated for malignant conditions. In Japan, 12 cases of radiation cancer after irradiation for malignant conditions, excluding leukemia, have been reported. The clinical features of these 17 cases in addition to 5 cases are reviewed.
