A 67-year-old woman developed three separate pelvic malignancies forty years after undergoing radiotherapy for a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Although previous exposure to ionising radiation is associated with certain malignancies, review of the literature indicates that there is no strong evidence to support such an association with urothelial or colorectal malignancy.
