Children who are affected by exposure to radiation therapy before the age of five known to have an increased risk for tumors in the brain or central nervous system a few years later. Data were obtained from studies of children who survive childhood cancer. Types of nerve tumors are often found in children are gliomas and meningiomas, which are generally found in the brain and other parts.
About 1% of total cancer patients age children who are able to survive in the intervening years known to be affected by tumor on her nervous system if they are exposed to radiation. The highest risks for a second cancer (cancer of the nervous system) for children who undergo radiation therapy at very young ages have a chance to develop into brain cancer later in life.
A study involving 14 361 patients with cancer at the age of the children who survive after five years was released from cancer, 116 of them children suffering from cancer a few years later the nerve. A total of 40 people suffering from glooms of which nine years ago after the first cancer free at age children and 66 of them suffering from cancer lapse 17 years after the first was declared cured of cancer at the age of the children.
Healing with the way radiation is known to have a risk up to six times more to cause the occurrence of gloom and ten times as much to get meningioma. Risk of cancer of the nerves will increase along with increasing doses of radiation used for healing from cancer therapy that suffers first.
