A case of rare metachronous four primary carcinoma.
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology 2023 March 25
PURPOSE: When more than two tumors are diagnosed in the same person, it is called multiple primary cancer. It is rare to be diagnosed as four primary cancers. Here, we present one elderly male patient suffered from testicular seminoma, gastric cancer, bladder cancer and breast cancer from 1946 to 2019.
METHODS: When he was about 1.5 years old in 1946, his mother (a doctor) inadvertently found that the left scrotum of the child was enlarged. He performed left testicular resection under general anesthesia and postoperative pathological report: left testicular seminoma. In March 2007 (62 years old), the upper abdomen was distended and uncomfortable after eating, accompanied by hiccups and heartburn. He performed distal subtotal gastrectomy and postoperative pathology report: moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of ulcer. In May 2013 (68 years old), he developed no obvious cause of painless gross hematuria. He performed robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy+pelvic lymph node dissection+bilateral ureterostomy and postoperative pathological report: invasive high-grade urothelial carcinoma at the bottom of the bladder. In February 2017 (72 years old), he found the right breast was developing, and a nodule was palpable under the skin. He performed undergo modified radical surgery in the right breast and postoperative pathological report: Invasive breast cancer.
RESULTS: During the past 70 years, he suffered from four types of tumors, all of which underwent surgical treatment. Postoperative pathology confirmed that they were malignant tumors. Genetic tumor gene testing found no pathogenic or suspected pathogenic mutations. The patient's general condition is good, with regular follow-up and no tumor recurrence CONCLUSION: The treatment of multiple primary cancers is different from tumor recurrence. Targeted treatment for different tumors can achieve good therapeutic results. Cancer patients must be followed up regularly. Timely treatment after discovering new tumors is the key to a good prognosis.
