The risk of radiation treatments causing a secondary cancer is low. However, radiation oncologists try to reduce that risk through various techniques and tools. One tool that is showing lower secondary cancer rates caused by the treatment is proton therapy. This is especially true for younger patients with cancer.

What margins are required to effectively treat central nervous system or spinal cancers to avoid a recurrence, without causing extensive side effects? The UF Department of Radiation Oncology team looked into the data in the case of Myxopapillary Ependymoma of the Lumbosacral Spine. Interestingly, they found that the standard practice differed based on patient age.
