Objective To study the incidence,clinicopathological characteristics,diagnosis,treatment, and prognosis of synchronous or metachronous primary cancers in patients with gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 103 gastric cancer patients with synchronous or metachronous primary cancers from January 1983 to December 2010 were collected and reviewed.Results The incidence of synchronous or metachronous primary cancer in addition to gastric cancer was 2.26%(103/4 552).The age of these patients was (63.98±11.93) years (30~84 years) when gastric cancer was diagnosed.There were 29 cases of synchronous primary cancer and 74 cases of metachronous primary cancer,in which there were 46 pre-metachronous cancer patients and 28 post-metachronous cancer patients.All the patients had 113 primary tumors of other organs.Colorectal cancer was the most common type of primary cancer in other organs (27.43%, 31/113),followed by lung cancer (15.04%, 17/113).The time interval between gastric cancer and metachronous primary cancer was (87.95±92.98) months (7~506 months),and 65.49% (74/113) of other primary tumors were diagnosed within 5 years before or after gastric cancer. The overall 5-year survival rate was 48.43%. The 5-year survival rate of post-metachronous group (69.52%) was significantly better than synchronous cancer group (36.40%, P=0.009) or pre-metachronous group (42.31%, P=0.023).In 33 patients who had definite cause of death, 20 patients died of gastric cancer.Conclusions Primary cancer of other organs should be considered in treatment of gastric cancer.Gastric cancer may be the most important factor impacting the prognosis of these patients.
Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of synchronous multiple primary malignant tumors in lung. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 5 cases with intrapulmonary synchronous multiple primary cancer, who were diagnosed in recent 10 years in Xinhua Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. Results The incidence of intrapulmonary synchronous multiple primary cancer was 0. 21%( 5 /2380) in all lung cancer cases diagnosed in respiratory department of Xinhua Hospital. There were 4 males and 1 female, with the average age of 60. 2 years old. Five patients were all treated with surgical operation. Four patients with bilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancer underwent staging operation treatment( larger lesions on one side of lung underwent conventional thoraceotomy and lobectomy, and smaller lesions on another side underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy or wedge resection afer 1 month) . For 1 patients with ipsilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancer, simultaneous operation was performed. There was no death during perioperative period or severe cardiopulmonary complications. They were followed up for 3 years. The survival rate was 80. 0%( 4 /5) at 1 year and 60. 0% ( 3/5) at 3 years, respectively. Conclusions With the development of medical science and awareness of pulmonary multiple primary cancer, early diagnosis improves continuously. Active treatment with operation can achieve better prognosis.
ObjectiveTo summarize the diagnosis and treatment of a primary gastric colon cancer, and to explore its safety and feasibility.MethodThe clinical data of a patient with gastric cancer and sigmoid colon cancer who admitted to The Affiliated Yantai Yuding Hospital of Qingdao University in October 2017 was analyzed.ResultsThe patient underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy plus π anastomosis and laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer. The operation time was 330 min and the intraoperative blood loss was 120 mL. There were no complications such as stomach cramps and sputum after operation and he was successfully discharged on the 9th day after surgery. Postoperative pathological staging: gastric cancer (pT3N3M0, ⅢB) and sigmoid colon cancer (pT2N0M0, Ⅰ B).ConclusionsMultiple primary cancer of the simultaneous gastric colon should be diagnosed before operation. Laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment for gastric cancer with sigmoid colon cancer is safe and feasible, and can benefit patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the safety and feasibility of surgical treatment of simultaneous multiple primary cancer–hepatocellular carcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.MethodThe clinical data of one patient with simultaneous multiple primary cancer of hepatocellular carcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, who treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University in April 2019 was analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThe patient was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma on admission. After MDT in the hospital, the patient underwent anterior right hepatectomy + cholecystectomy and radical resection of esophageal carcinoma in turn. The procedure of anterior right hepatectomy + cholecystectomy was smooth, the duration of the surgery was 270 min, and the total blood loss was 500 mL, and postoperative pathology showed that hepatocellular carcinoma was in grade Ⅱ. The operation process of radical resection of esophageal cancer was smooth too, the duration of the surgery was 176 min, and the total blood loss was 100 mL, and postoperative pathology showed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. No related surgical complications occurred after the operation. Thirteen months after the operation of liver cancer and 10 months after the operation of esophageal cancer, the patient was generally in good condition, well wound healing, and no clinical recurrence. The follow-up of the patient was continued.ConclusionIn allusion to simultaneous multiple primary cancers, it is safe and feasible to evaluate the location, pathological stage, and general condition of the patient by combining multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment and then performing radical operations in turn.
