Proportion of second cancers attributable to radiotherapy treatment in adults: a cohort study in the US SEER cancer registries.

We aimed to estimate the proportion of second cancers attributable to radiotherapy in adults with data from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registries. ⋯ US National Cancer Institute.
