Uterine sarcoma following adjuvant radiotherapy for rectal carcinoma

P J Marmion et al. J Surg Oncol. 1981.

Abstract

Since adjuvant radiotherapy for rectosigmoid carcinoma appears to improve prognosis, the importance of delayed side effects such as radiation-induced malignant disease must be considered. The present report describes the first reported case of the development of a uterine carcinosarcoma more than 9 years after preoperative radiotherapy to the midpelvis for rectal carcinoma.
