title: Preoperative work up and therapeutic schedule for patients with duplex tumors.
abstract: Authors analyze the cases of duplex and multiplex tumors among the more than two thousand operated upon patients a year at the Surgical Department of Uzsoki Hospital, Budapest, Hungary. The study enrolls a two years period evaluating the medical history of our patients in hope of a more sophisticated and effective diagnostic and therapeutic regimen. Our experience gained by analyzing data of our patients with synchron tumors shows that the patient's life expectancy is much better if performing a radical multivisceral tumor extirpation at the same sitting even if keeping in mind the higher perioperative risk. In accordance to the above mentioned concept we would like to stress the utmost importance of the interdisciplinary cooperation.
