Second primary malignancies among cancer patients

Abstract: Background: Rate of second primary malignancies (SPM) is steadily increasing over the last decades.New therapies, early diagnostic markers, screening tests for a larger number of individuals contribute to the increase prevalence of SPM. In the current study, we try to described the demographic composition of SPM victims, distribution of primary sites, and the impact of related factors on prognosis. Methods:We conducted a retrospective study identifying patients over the age of 18 who were diagnosed with SPM fr… Show more

“…Donin and colleagues reported that the most common SPM was lung cancer (18%), followed by colorectal cancer (12%), prostate cancer (9%), and bladder cancer (8%) in cancer survivors aged ≥ 18 years 13 . Two other studies also found lung cancer as the most common SPM in adults 19 , 20 . Among the survivors of AYA cancer, the most common SPM was breast cancer (32%), followed by melanoma (14%) and ovarian cancer (5%) 14 .…”

“…The second primary cancer was found in many patients with posttreatment primary malignancies during their follow-up, and the proportion of which is higher than that in the general population (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Results of a retrospective study indicated that the overall risk of developing a second primary cancer is statistically significantly higher for 18 of 30 primary malignancies in men and 21 of 31 primary malignancies in women when compared with the general population ( 14).…”
