“…As previously noted, the radiation treatment related risks of thyroid cancer can be more commonly seen among survivors of leukemia and lymphoma [3]. On the other hand, even in lymphoma survivors not treated with external radiotherapy a significant increased risk of developing thyroid cancer has been defined possibly due to immune dysfunction or related factors [3]. In our patients, tumor histology was usually papillary carcinoma in previously irradiated patients and regional lymph node involvement was more frequent in agreement with previous reports [4,5].…”

Abstract. AIM: Patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) have long-life expectancy and are at risk for developing a second primary cancer. Aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of DTC in conjunction with other primary neoplasms. It was also aimed to explore the possibility of synchronous or metachronous other malignancies having an impact on clinical course of thyroid carcinoma. MATERIAL & METHODS: Clinical records of 1680 DTC patients treated and followed in our institution over last twenty years were reviewed. Forty-five second primary tumors were found in 42 patients. These patients were classified into 3 groups as antecedent (group I), synchronous (group II) or subsequent (group III) according to the timing of occurrence of non-thyroidal malignancy. The initial characteristics of thyroid neoplasm were compared between patients with DTC plus another tumor and DTC only. Kaplan-Meier Survival Analysis was used to estimate the survival probability for patients with DTC alone and DTC plus another primary tumor. RESULTS: There were 15 synchronous and 30 metachronous tumors in 42 patients. Three of them had triple tumors. The most common second primary was lympho-haematological and upper aero digestive system tumors in group I and II respectively, whereas a variety of tumors were noted in group III. Despite the more common occurrence of unfavourable prognostic factors in patients with multiple cancers than thyroid cancer alone, complete response to radioiodine therapy and recurrence free survival rate was similar in both groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of the current series imply that the occurrence of multiple primary tumors is not uncommon in patients with DTC. Close medical surveillance and the use of advanced screening modalities might lead to the detection of second primary tumors in DTC. However, the presence of second primary seems not to affect the clinical course of DTC.

Objective: Childhood cancer survivors are commonly treated with GH for GH deficiency that develops either as a result of primary malignancy or its treatment. One study -the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) -demonstrated increased risk of second neoplasm (SN) in GH-treated childhood cancer survivors compared with non-GH treated, after adjusting for key risk factors. We assessed the incidence of SN in GH-treated childhood cancer survivors in outpatient observational studies of GH replacement. Design: Retrospective analysis of two prospective cohort studies that collected data on safety of GH replacement as prescribed in clinical practice. Methods: Childhood cancer survivors enrolled in Eli Lilly and Company's pediatric (Genetics and Neuroendocrinology of Short Stature International Study (GeNeSIS)) and adult (Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study (HypoCCS)) observational studies of GH treatment were assessed for incidence of SN. Results: The percentage of childhood cancer survivors treated with GH who developed a SN was 3.8% in pediatric GeNeSIS participants and 6.0% in adult HypoCCS participants. The estimated cumulative incidence of SN at 5 years of follow-up in these studies was 6.2 and 4.8% respectively. Conclusions: The incidence of SN in GeNeSIS and HypoCCS GH-treated participants is similar to the published literature and is thus consistent with increased risk of SN in childhood cancer survivors treated with GH. As follow-up times were relatively short (!3 years), longer observation is recommended. Nevertheless, clinicians should be alerted to the possibility of increased risk of SN in childhood cancer survivors treated with GH and continue chronic surveillance.

“…In general the estimation of risk varies, between hospital based and population based studies [2], probably due to more complete follow-up in the former registries. Our population based study, differs from similar studies also for defining a period at risk for SMN, from the diagnosis of primary cancer on.…”

“…Relevant reports of the cumulative probability of developing SN vary from 3.3% to 25% at 25 years from diagnosis. Thus, the risk of developing another cancer can be up to 35 times greater than in the general population [2].…”
