摘要

Second cancers are a substantial clinical problem in survivorship. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) in survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with radiotherapy now identifies a region of susceptibility on chromosome 6q21 (pages 941-943), paving the way for further investigations of the complex interplay between genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures involved in the development of second cancers.
