After radiation therapy for breast cancer, the risk of sarcoma, lung cancer, and other breast cancers have been described in the medical literature. From France, we have reports on thousands of women treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer over the last few decades.enerally, the risk of developing a radiation induced malignancy after treatment of cancer is very small, though certainly a scary thought. Remarkably though, radiotherapy related cancers account for a small minority of second cancers which develop in patients after treatment for a first cancer.
The two side effects that most often affect patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer are fatigue and skin changes. The skin may become red after two weeks of treatment. In rare instances, the skin can blister and peel.These reactions will go away a few weeks after the last radiation treatment.reatments are usually given five days a week for six to seven weeks. If the goal of treatment is palliative (to control symptoms) treatment will last 2-3 weeks in length. Using many small doses (fractions) for daily radiation, rather than a few large doses, helps to protect the healthy cells in the treatment area.
