Second malignancies following breast cancer treatment: a case-control study based on the Peridose methodology. ALLEGRO project (task 5.4)

摘要

Aims and background. To calculate peripheral radiation dose to the second primary site in patients who have developed a second malignancy after breast cancer radiotherapy (index cases) and to compare it with dose in the analogous anatomical site in radiotherapy-treated breast cancer patients who did not experience a second malignancy (controls). To evaluate the feasibility of Peridose-software peripheral dose calculation in retrospective case-control studies.
