Consequences of radiotherapy and antineoplastic therapy for the fetus
Description
The consequences of radiation and antineoplastic therapy on the fetus are summarized. Animal and atom bomb studies clearly demonstrate the carcinogenic effects of radiation. Less information is available on neoplasia and neonatal malformations induced by chemotherapy, but there may be an increased risk. The delayed consequences of radiation and chemotherapy are not well known and require further study
