The effect of "prophylactic" lung radiation in preventing pulmonary metastasis was studied in a subset of patients with osteosarcoma. Benefit was not noted. Thirteen of the irradiated patients in the treatment group were females; in 2 of the 13, bilateral breast cancer developed approximately 15 years later. Radiation administered to the breast of an adolescent female carries a considerable risk of causing breast cancer.
在一组骨肉瘤患者中研究了“预防性”肺部放疗对预防肺转移的效果。未观察到益处。治疗组中接受放疗的13名患者为女性；其中2名在大约15年后发生了双侧乳腺癌。对青春期女性乳房进行放疗有相当大的患乳腺癌风险。
