The onset of the latter occurred forty two months after a successful excision of the earlier carcinoma.Based on retrospective survey of 82 cases of oral-related double cancer reported in past Japanese literature, the results are summarized as follows:1) Sex: Male/Female=2.9/12) Age: 89.1% of cases occurred over the fifth decade of life.3) Interval of the cancers. Majority of the cases (83.1%) had the second cancer within 5 years.4) Gastrointestine proved to be the most highly affected system (56.9%) in oral-related double cancers.5) In regard to the histopathological typing of both cancers, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were the two major constituent types? |
