SYNCHRONOUS VERSUS METACHRONOUS MALIGNANCIES OF BREAST AND OVARY
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 25
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coexisting ovarian and breast carcinomas in a single patient are very rare with only infinitesimal cases reported in literature. The two cancers are either detected at the same time (synchronous) or one may follow the other after a period of time (metachronous). Although, breast and ovarian cancers are one of the commonest tumours in females, yet a coexisting primary involving both organs in a single patient is a rarity in medical literature prompting us to publish this article.
