  • Title: Radiation-induced intracranial neoplasms. A report of three possible cases.
    Author: Anderson JR, Treip CS.
    Journal: Cancer; 1984 Feb 01; 53(3):426-9. PubMed ID: 6581853.
    Abstract:
    The pathologic findings are described in three patients who developed second intracranial neoplasms after irradiation for central nervous system malignancy. The second neoplasms were an astrocytoma, an ependymoma, and multiple meningiomas. All were histologically different from the first neoplasms and appeared in the field of irradiation between 3 and 15 years later. It is suggested that therapeutic irradiation was a causative factor in the development of these tumors.
