| Popis: | INTRODUCTIONEndometrial cancer survivors exhibit an increased incidence of subsequent neoplasms.PRESENTATION OF CASEWe present a patient with a history of endometrial cancer who, 3 years after surgery and radiotherapy, developed synchronous neoplasms of the breast, colon and rectum. The patient underwent abdominoperineal resection, a limited right colectomy, and excision of the breast tumour and axillary lymph node dissection. 18 months after surgery, there has been no disease recurrence.DISCUSSIONMultiple primary malignancies represent 16% of new cancer diagnoses. Research on subsequent malignancies after endometrial cancer has shown an increase in risk in colorectal, urinary bladder, lung and breast primaries.CONCLUSIONThis case report illustrates the need for physicians to be aware of and counsel patients on the risk of subsequent cancers on endometrial cancer survivors. |
