Multiple malignant tumors – a clinical case
Journal Title: Human & Veterinary Medicine - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: We present a clinical case of an old woman who suffered at different ages surgical excisions for three different primary malignant tumors. The patient is now 86 years old. She was diagnosed at the age of 35 with a malignant tumor of the corpus uteri, and then when she was 78 with a basocellular carcinoma of the nose skin and at 81 she was diagnosed with an ascendant large bowel adenocarcinoma. Despite the occurrence of three different tumors she is alive five years later and cancer-free, but suffering because of other medical diseases including diabetes, hypertension, myocardial ischemia and migraines. Conclusion: a patient diagnosed with a cancer and who survive from it must be submitted to periodically medical controls because of the possibility to develop several other cancers. With an increasing survival in patients after malignant tumors therapy, there is an increased risk to develop other cancers as the patients are getting older.
