Radiotherapy of prostate cancer: impact of treatment characteristics on the incidence of second tumors
Abstract Background It has been hypothesized that radiotherapy (RT) techniques delivering radiations to larger volumes (IMRT, VMAT) are potentially associated with a higher risk of second primary tumors. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of RT technique (3D-CRT vs IMRT/VMAT) on the inc...
