Clinical characteristics of second primary cancer in colorectal cancer patients: the impact of colorectal cancer or other second cancer occurring first

Abstract: BackgroundDue to improvements in early detection, treatment, and supportive care, the number of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors is increasing; therefore, careful attention should always be paid to the second primary cancer (SPC) in treating these CRC patients. The present study attempts to determine the correlation and clinical aspects of CRC to other cancers in patients suffering from SPC involving CRC.MethodsFrom January 2002 and June 2010, 1,679 cancer cases, CRC was accompanied by SPC in 89 patients (5.3… Show more

“…For example, oncofactors released by colon cancer cells would give metachronous metastases if uptaken and expressed by fibroblasts in the liver (CK7 − /CK20 + /CDX2 + ) or a second type of cancer such as a cholangiocarcinoma (upper gastrointestinal tract and CK7 + /CK20 − /CDX2 − ) if they were uptaken and expressed by epithelial liver cells 22,35 . The clinical evidence that second primary cancers usually express a CK7/CK20 pattern opposite to the first primary seems to justify the legitimacy of this hypothesis 36,37 . It must be mentioned that the in vitro transformation of BRCA1 KO fibroblasts is not supported by evidence that synchronous or metachronous metastases can occur in fibroblasts, in vivo .…”

“…It was well established that the biological characteristics and prognosis were different between colon cancer (CC) and rectal cancer (RC) [ 13 ]. However, most of current studies evaluated risk of SPMs by considering CC and RC as the same condition, which might generate some misunderstandings of results [ 14 ].…”

“…In patients with GC, the most common SPC is CRC, followed by lung cancer (5)(6)(7)9,13,14). The high incidence of CRC in GC patients may be attributed to the genetic and environmental factors.…”

“…Synchronous MPC was defined as those with an interval within 6 months. On the other hand, metachronous MPC are defined as those with an interval of more than 6 months (8)(9)(10). In this study, we report a metachronous MPC, as the colorectal cancer (CRC) which was diagnosed 49 months later after the diagnosis of GC.…”
