The occurrence of a second primary cancer in a cancer survivor is well documented. It may be synchronous or metachronous. Incidence of metachronous cancer involving cervix is 0.82% to 1.33%. One such metachronous cancer is that of breast and cervix. We present a case of a woman who received tamoxifen for invasive ductal cancer of breast following a modified radical mastectomy and subsequently d...

The difficulties of timely diagnosis primary multiple synchronous breast cancer with histological heterogeneity tumors are demonstrated by a clinical example. Taking into account the fact that continues to lead among all oncological pathology and accounts for 11.8% malignant neoplasms, diagnostic algorithms stage should be personalized. presented case demonstrates multidisciplinary errors commi...

AIM To assess bilateral breast cancer patients, initially diagnosed with stage II unilateral breast cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS 113 patients with stage 0-II breast cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 2011 were assessed. Of these, 8 patients had bilateral breast cancer: 7 patients with metachronous bilateral breast cancer and 1 patient with synchronous breast cancer. Breast ultrasound, mammogra...

Authors describe the case of a patient with breast cancer and multiple myeloma as the second metachronous disease responsible for spinal cord compression. Synchronous occurrence of bone marrow breast cancer disease and multiple myeloma has not been described in the literature, as in this case. By presenting this case, we point to possible association between both diseases and the possible facto...

Evidence of the prognostic significance of synchronous bilateral compared with unilateral breast cancer is available from a number of studies (Gollamudi et al., 1997; Heron et al., 2000; Kollias et al., 2001; Newman et al., 2001; Jobsen et al., 2003; Polednak, 2003; Tousimis, 2005; Beckmann et al., 2011). While results vary, most indicate that synchronous bilateral breast cancers (SBBC) have ei...

Synchronous presentation of breast carcinoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a rare occurrence (Bradford PT, Freedman DM, Goldstein AM, Tucker MA. Increased risk of second primary cancers after a diagnosis of melanoma. Arch Dermatol 2010; 146: :265-72; Dutta Roy S, Stafford JA, Scally J, Selvachandran SN. A rare case of breast carcinoma co-existing with axillary mantle cell lymphoma. World J ...

background: we studied the patterns of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer incidence and its established risk factors in iran in 2010. in addition, we estimated the 5-year prevalence of breast cancer in the country. methods: we performed an internet and library literature review. we used national cancer registry data, demographic health surveys, national censuses and world bank data ...
