Abstract

Radiotherapy for prostate cancer can be rarely associated with the development of second cancers, primarily carcinomas and exceptionally sarcomas. The authors report a case of pelvic sarcoma presenting with pain 8 years after irradiation for prostatic carcinoma. This case is discussed in the light of a review of the literature concerning second cancers after radiotherapy for pelvic cancer.
