Multiple Primary Malignancies Involving Lung: An Analysis of 40 Cases

Abstract: We aimed to assess the incidence of multiple primary malignancies in primary lung cancer patients. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical files of 1038 primary lung cancer patients diagnosed in 2004. Forty patients (3.9 %) had multiple primary malignancies. There were 34 men (85 %) and 6 women (15 %). Their mean age was 62.4 ± 8.6 years. While 35 cases were smokers, 5 cases were nonsmokers. Tumour pathology of the lung was squamous cell carcinoma in 15 cases, adenocarcinoma in 10 cases, small cell carcinoma… Show more

“…Therefore, this retrospective study was designed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of MPM patients involving lung cancer in Chinese patients. The incidence of MPM patients involving lung cancer in our study was 3.4 % (185/5405), similar to the results of a previous study from Turkey, which found an incidence of 3.9 % (40/1038) [ 14 ]. The most frequent accompanying malignancies were colon, rectal, and esophageal cancers, which suggests that lung cancer may be closely associated with digestive system neoplasms.…”

“…that were accompanied by lung cancer have been investigated. [18][19][20] In a study conducted by Li et al, it was reported that the most common cancers to exist concurrently with lung cancer were of digestive system; breast cancer was included in the group of "others, " which compromised 9.7% of total. [21] However, another study reported that concurrence of lung and breast cancer made up highest percentage for both metachrone and synchrone groups of patients with multiple primary tumors.…”

“…Furthermore, cancer treatment may also contribute to the development of MPMs, as conventional radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and antihormonal therapies are associated with an elevated risk of developing angiosarcoma, hematopoietic malignancies, and gynecological malignancies, respectively 1,11–13 . However, the majority of studies on MPMs to date have focused on specific cancer types 14–17 …”
