title: [Report of 111 patients with multiple cancers of the first medical department of the Vienna-Lainz nursing home 1981-1987].
abstract: After a short synopsis of the literature we describe 111 patients with multiple primary cancer and compare these patients with 804 patients with solitary cancer admitted over the same period. Patients who developed primary cancer at a younger age are more prone to developing a second cancer than patients who developed cancer first at an older age. This concerns younger women with breast or genital cancer, who are much more likely to develop a second cancer than older women; nevertheless these women have a more favourable prognosis. As the great majority of patients were already over 70 at the time of diagnosis of the second cancer, the prognosis of geriatric diseases has become of considerable significance. We present a detailed investigation of the interrelations between the first and second cancer, also between oncological and geriatric diseases.
