Abstract
Patients treated for sarcoma, in particular those with Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma histology, seem to have a higher incidence of secondary acute leukemia as compared with the general population. Treatment factors including radiation therapy and chemotherapy seem to play a role in this increased risk, although the absolute incidence nevertheless remains very small.
