Radiotherapy modes and later 2nd tumors.....comparative study
Others find other outcomes. It's almost impossible to measure without a huge sample and 15-20 yrs of f/u because incidence is so low. In contrast to the low reliability paper you cited, this one had 40,000 patients in the study, and were much more careful about qualifying patients. Any way you slice it, it is a low probability event:prostatecancer.news/2016/08...
from the study.... " The incidence of second pelvic tumors after RT of PCa showed a significant correlation with treatment technique. Further analyses in larger series with prolonged follow-up are needed to confirm these results. "
They were clear on its limitations, but thanks for pointing out " the Low reliability" of what I posted. always good to be corrected!
I had been in touch with the author of the larger study. She intends to update it at some point.
