Estimate of the uncertainties in the relative risk of secondary malignant neoplasms following proton therapy and intensity-modulated photon therapy.
TL;DR: Uncertainties in the radiation weighting factor for neutrons, the shape of the dose-risk model and interpatient variations in therapeutic and stray doses introduced a total uncertainty of 33% to the baseline RRR calculation.

Second primary cancers after radiation for prostate cancer: a review of data from planning studies
TL;DR: Until there is sufficient clinical evidence regarding RISPC risks associated with modern irradiation techniques, the data produced from planning studies is relevant when considering which patients to irradiate, and which technique to employ.

Risk of secondary malignant neoplasms from proton therapy and intensity-modulated x-ray therapy for early-stage prostate cancer.
TL;DR: Proton therapy can reduce the risk of an SMN in prostate patients compared with contemporary IMRT, and the risks from the in-field organs were considerably lower with the proton therapy plan than with the IMRT plan.
