title: [Radiation-induced cancer after treatment of mediastinal seminoma. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Radiation-induced cancer is a rare complication of radiotherapy. The diagnosis relies on chronological, topographical and histological data distinguishing the lesion from tumoural relapse. We report the case of a second cancer, meeting the criteria of radiation-induced malignancy, and attempt to define the frequency, clinical situations and risk man. In addition to gentic mechanisms, other factors appear to play a role in the genesis of radiation-induced cancer.
