Abstract
- Four patients with postirradiation sarcoma occurring in the bony pelvis following primary irradiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix are reported. All of the cases occurred following orthovoltage therapy with a lag period of 9 to 23 years. The incidence of sarcoma in this series is approximately 650 times the rate of spontaneous osteogenic sarcoma of the bony pelvis in women. Pain antedated radiologic evidence of the tumor by 3 to 12 months in all patients.
