Smoking is the clearest example: after chest radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, the risks from tobacco and from treatment appeared to multiply rather than add, which makes stopping smoking the largest single lever a survivor has over this particular risk."},{"id":"second-primary-lung-after-chest-radiotherapy","kind":"term","name":"Lung cancer after chest radiotherapy and after alkylating chemotherapy","route":"/terms/second-primary-lung-after-chest-radiotherapy/","tldr":"Lung cancer is the commonest cause of death among people who develop a second cancer, and chest radiotherapy raises the risk of it for more than twenty years. There is no screening programme aimed at survivors anywhere, although some survivor groups have a measured rate above the threshold at which lung screening was shown to save lives, so this is a gap rather than a settled answer."}]}
