Abstract:
Radio-induced tumors following therapeutic irradiation for a first cancer are rare, it can be benign or malignant and however, this risk must be taken into consideration when developing treatment protocols especially in children and in patients with a genetic predisposition to cancer. Long-term monitoring arrangements should be established based on the foreseeable risk.
Pituitary adenomas are often treated with radiotherapy for the management of tumor progression or recurrence. Despite the improvement in cure rates, patients treated by radiotherapy are at risk of development of secondary malignancies. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of the secondary intracranial tumors that occurred following radiotherapy to pituitary adenomas to obtain clinico pathological characteristics.
There exist many reports about tumors of the central nervous system which have developed after radiotherapy in the irradiated field after a latency period. But after a thorough review of the international literature about radiation-induced tumors of the CNS is this the five case in which a benign meningioma has followed a radiotherapy for an ependymoma.
