Abstract

Early detection of cancer or cancer relapse is an important issue to improve survival. However, up to now, one of the most common strategies to early detect cancer or for a routine follow-up after cancer treatment is to track the appearance of tumors by performing regular clinical assessments with (or without) imaging at a few months or years of interval. Nevertheless, such a follow-up is not always without any risk since, for instance, patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma who received more than 8 CT scans have a probability for secondary primary malignancies twice greater than those who received less than 8.
