Unusual second malignancies following radiation therapy: subcutaneous pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma and cutaneous melanoma. Two case reports.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) plays an important role in the biosynthesis of polyamines. Induction of ODC and polyamine synthesis has been demonstrated in neoplastic tumors and is thought to be related to the degree of malignancy. METHODS:In this study, we investigated a series of basal cell epitheliomas (B...
