title: [Multiple cancers in gynecologic oncology].
abstract: An analysis of 97 patients with multiple primary gynaecological neoplasms (90 double-, 6 triple- and 1 quadruple carcinomas) was done at the Gynaecological Department of the University of Innsbruck. Two thirds of the tumour combinations were located in the female genital tract including the breast. Concerning the early detection of simultaneous or subsequent malignancies of the cervix or corpus uteri, one should pay attention to the mamma being involved in the treatment or aftercare of such cancers. In the same way the inner female genital tract has to be observed in breast cancer patients. Regular colposcopic and cytological examinations of the cervical portio as well as a systematic prevention of endometrial cancer (pistolet in local anaesthesia) is highly recommended. The prognosis of the "highly malignant" tumour does not worsen as a result of a second malignant cancer.
