Multiple tumors in gynecology.
Two large groups of patients, i.e. 1893 patients treated at the Institute for carcinoma cervicis uteri and 1184 patients with Ca corporis uteri were selected and evaluated for a follow-up study and statistical processing of tumor duplicity of gynecological origin. Double tumor in the group with Ca cervicis uteri was found in 88 women, i.e. 4.6%, and in that treated for Ca corporis uteri in 85, i.e. 7.2% of the patients. The most frequent combination in the two groups of carcinoma is breast cancer amounting to 28.4% in Ca cervicis uteri and to 35.3% in Ca corporis uteri. The second most frequent primary carcinoma in Ca cervicis uteri is dermal carcinoma--23.9%, and in Ca corporis uteri that of the digestive tract--21.1%. A statistical follow-up over 40 years indicates a rise in tumor duplicity in both groups of gynecological carcinoma--cervical and endometrial, with the number in the former having increased more than twofold.
