Abstract
A 9-yr-old schoolgirl received 6007 rad to the suprasellar region for craniopharyngioma. Five years later, a malignant astrocytoma developed in the right temporal lobe. Clinical and experimental evidence to support the suspicion that the glioma may have been induced by radiation was cited.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
