Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: A histopathologic review of synchronous primary neoplasms of the female reproductive tract was presented and the possible correlation among discrete tumor subsets, natural history, and survival was evaluated. METHODS: Between 2000 and 2005, 20 patients with synchronous primary cancers of the gynecologic malignancy were identified. Clinical and pathologic informations were obtained from medical records. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. RESULTS: The patients with Synchronous primary malignancies constituted 0.63% of all genital malignancies. The most frequently observed synchronous neoplasms were those of the ovary with the endometrium (40%). The mean age of patient with synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer was 45.2 years. 8 patients underwent the hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant therapy. The mean survival is 57 months (SE 10.0, 95% Confidence interval 37-77). CONCLUSION: Synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancers were detected in relatively early age and the prognosis was favorable.
