Abstract
From 1953 to 1975, 330 children received megavoltage for benign or malignant tumors. Fourteen subsequently developed second neoplasms. The 30‐year cumulative incidence of second neoplasms was 9.6%. The incidence of second malignant neoplasms may be lower following megavoltage radiation than following orthovoltage radiation. Cancer 56: 1534‐1537, 1985.
