  ABSTRACT: Influence of dosimetric considerations in evaluating second cancer risks in prostate cancer. Material and methods: Fifteen patients in this study suffering from early stage of prostate cancer, each patient underwent three plans: 1) Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), 2) Rotation therapy (Arc therapy), and 3) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan. Estimate secondary metastasis risk models: Excess Relative Risk (ERR) and Excess absolute risk (EAR) based on age of exposure by taking dosimetry data from Dose Volume Histograms (DVHs) to calculate risk models. Result: The second cancer risk models (ERR and EAR) for organs at risk OARs decrease with increasing age of exposure for 3D-CRT, ARC and IMRT and there is no significant difference for ERR and EAR model for developing second cancer risk in 3D-CRT, ARC and IMRT.
