Abstract
This review demonstrates an increased risk for second primary rectal cancer in patients who received RT to the pelvic region. This increased risk was modest and could not be confirmed for all primary pelvic cancer sites. The present study does not provide data to change guidelines for surveillance for rectal cancer in previously irradiated patients.
