Risk of Radiation-Induced Second Primary Cancers and Cardiotoxicity following Therapeutic Irradiation for Thymoma with Photon Beams: A Treatment Planning Study

This study compared the risks for developing second primary cancers and cardiotoxicity following radiotherapy for thymoma. Three different 3D-CRT, IMRT, and VMAT plans were generated with 6 MV photons for 12 females with thymoma. Dose-volume histogram data were employed to estimate the second cancer...
