Abstract
The progress in radiocarcinogenesis research and recent concerns about second primary cancer incidence after radiotherapy are reviewed. Several generalizations about radiation carcinogenesis and a brief look into medicaluse radiation sources are also summarized. The mostly confirmed dominant risk factors of second primary cancer are elucidated, some potential risk factors are proposed and discussed briefly. At the end of this review we presented our perspective on the future of second primary cancer research and its potential benefit.
