    Author: Vieira Santos A, Vilela P, Mateus L, Saraiva PF, Goulão A.
    Journal: Acta Med Port; 2006; 19(6):451-4. PubMed ID: 17583602.
    Abstract:
    A 22 year-old-man with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had received prophylactic cranial irradiation and intrathecal chemotherapy. Eighteen years later a cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme was diagnosed. The authors speculate about the possibility that this tumor may have been radiation and/or chemotherapy induced. Improvement in neuroimaging techniques, in particular magnetic resonance imaging, has helped characterize Central Nervous System abnormalities, namely secondary brain tumours.
