Which are the most common secondary neoplasm after chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy drugs can cause new mutations in stem cells that give rise to blood cells. A frequent secondary malignancy (about 1% incidence per year increasing cumulatively following chemo) is acute myelogenous leukemia. A precursor condition, myelodysplasia, can also result. In these disorders, blood cell formation is impaired, requiring frequent transfusions.

well....depends on where the primary was.......breast usually goes to lung, and bone...ovarian goes to liver....lung goes to bone and brain....prostate likes the bone....so...........it depends....good luck............
