Includes all invasive second solid cancers excluding nonmelanoma skins; excludes 17 carcinomas in situ (lip [n = 1], rectum [n = 2], lung [n = 1], melanoma [n = 5], breast [n = 2], cervix [n = 3], vulva [n = 2], penis [n = 1]), and 19 invasive squamous cell skin cancers. Histologies of special interest: leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine (n = 1), angiosarcomas of the liver (n = 2) and fibrous histiocytomas of the liver (n = 2), high-grade sarcoma of the lung (n = 1), desmoplastic round cell tumor of the uterus (n = 1), and rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix (n = 1). Two patients developed Kaposi sarcoma (1 of the digestive organs and the other of skin of the leg). The 4 cancers of the salivary gland were mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Two patients whose indication for HCT was neuroblastoma developed new second malignancies (1 bladder cancer, 1 thyroid cancer). The number of patients (person-years at risk [PYR]) for males was 17 122 (49 331 PYR) and for females was 11 752 (36 252 PYR).

Other solid cancers included leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine (n = 1), Kaposi sarcoma (n = 2), neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas/duodenum (n = 1), neuroblastoma of nose/nasal cavities (n = 1), cancers of the prostate (n = 1), penis (n = 1), bladder (n = 1), kidney (n = 1), and metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary site (n = 3).

EAR is calculated by the number of observed cases minus the expected cases per 10 000 person-years at risk.
