This study is a retrospective examination of our experiences with patients who underwent treatment of isolated synchronous brain metastases coupled with primary non-small cell lung cancer. From January 1995 to June 2004, 12 patients presented with isolated synchronous brain metastases coupled with primary non-small cell lung cancer. The patient was comprised of 8 men and 4 women.

synchronous cancer is referred to two or more histological distinct malignancies diagnosed during the same hospital admission. globally more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer yearly resulting in about 0.5 million deaths. vulvar cancer is the fourth most common gynecologic cancer (following the corpus uterine cancer, cancer of ovary and cervix) and comprises only 4 percent of malignanc...

BACKGROUND/AIMS With the development of early diagnostic technologies, more synchronous colorectal cancers (SCRCs) can be clinically detected. Although SCRCs are recognized as a significant clinical entity, their clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis have yet to be definitively established. In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of this disease and to establish an eff...
