Soft Tissue Sarcoma in a Malignancy Prone Patient: An Update
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
It is possible to encounter a patient who might have more than one type of a primary malignant tumor. The literature supports increasing tendencies for subsequent development of malignancies within same individual. A case example of a young woman is given who was diagnosed with a pleomorphic Liposarcoma, while she is been followed up for metastatic ductal breast carcinoma and with a past history of treated acute lymphoblastic Leukemia. As per our review, various associations of malignant conditions are encountered, but are more likely to be metachronous rather than synchronous. The duration between diagnosing a second and third malignancy tends to be relatively short. Soft tissue sarcoma as a synchronous malignancy has been shown to be associated with breast cancer more often. Patients diagnosed with new subsequent malignancy including soft tissue sarcomas must be managed holistically and with full measures; as per current data, their prognosis is not necessarily poorer than regular cancer patients.
