MANAGEMENT OF PRIMARY MULTIPLE CANCERS IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Keywords:
primary multiple cancer, metachronous cancer, multidisciplinary approachAbstract
Introduction: Cases of patients with primary multiple cancer account for 8-10% of all malignant neoplasm incidences.
Objective: To analyze outpatient records of patients with malignant neoplasms.
Materials and methods: 300 outpatient records provided by the archives of the Kaliningrad Regional Oncology Center.
Results: Based on the analysis of outpatient records, out of 300 cancer patients, 17 individuals were diagnosed with primary multiple metachronous cancer.
Conclusion: Primary multiple metachronous cancer is not a coincidence but a pattern that requires comprehensive treatment.
