The best cancer information for everyone.
Cancerbackup has merged with Macmillan. Together we can provide a wealth of high quality information about cancer.
Skip the main content if you do not want to read it as the next section.
Around 13,000 people in the UK have pelvic radiotherapy for cancer each year. This section gives information about the possible long-term side effects of pelvic radiotherapy in women. We have a separate section for men who have had pelvic radiotherapy.
It is important to be aware that you will not get all of the long-term side effects mentioned here. Many people only have mild, short-term side effects. It may help to read this section alongside information about your particular type of cancer and about radiotherapy.
