Is The Begetting of Triplets Associated With The Developing of 3 Breast Primaries?

Abstract

A Birmingham (UK) group considered in 1980 that the establishment of a Histopathology data pool encourages epidemiologic analysis. Consequently, the senior author (WIBO) had such an advantageous opportunity. Interestingly, the junior author (GEN), working in a near Surgical Outpatient Clinic, was consulted by a gravid 5, para 8, patient, i.e., one twin and a set of triplets. Moreover, she also developed 3 breast carcinomas. Therefore, this paper is documented in order to stimulate worldwide interest in this peculiar combination. Is it only happenstance or an explicable natural event?
