    Author: Sharma DN, Shukla NK, Rath GK.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2002 Aug; 50():1082-3. PubMed ID: 12421040.
    Abstract:
    Radiation is well known to increase the risk of cancer. Leukemias, skin cancers, osteosarcomas, thyroid cancers are some examples of radiation-induced malignancies. Radiation-induced carcinoma of the esophagus is extremely rare. We present a case of 42 year old patient who received radiotherapy for breast cancer and subsequently developed esophageal carcinoma.
