Increased risk of malignancies in a population-based study of 818 soft-tissue sarcoma patients

Abstract: Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) have been associated with various rare cancer syndromes and occur at increased frequencies in survivors of childhood cancer. Also adult patients with STS have been suggested to be at an increased risk of additional malignancies. After exclusion of syndrome-associated and radiation-induced sarcomas, we studied multiple primary malignancies in a population-based cohort of 818 patients with primary STS of the extremities and the trunk wall. In total, 203 other malignancies developed in … Show more

“…Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are associated with an increased risk of developing a second malignant neoplasm. [15][16][17] In the present study, the preceding malignancy was treated by surgery alone in 11 of 21 cases. Five of 21 cases were treated by radiotherapy with or without surgery and chemotherapy.…”

“…3,[13][14][15][16] This increased risk is either related to chemotherapy/radiotherapy 15,16 or attributed to the intrinsic predisposition to secondary malignancies in patients with primary neoplasms. 3 C, Survival analysis stratified by cytogenetic groups: the group with complex abnormalities, -5 or -7 vs the one with other abnormalities or normal karyotype.…”
