Abstract: Objective To summarize and analyze the surgical therapies for liver and gastric multiple primary cancers. Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with liver and gastric carcinomas surgically treated in our hospital from January 2004 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 14 patients, 12 underwent simultaneous resection of liver and gastric carcinomas,1 resection of the gastric carcinoma 2 months after the liver surgery and 1 removal of liver cancer found 2 years after the surgery for antral adenocarcinoma. The median survival time of these patients was 23 months. The 1-and 3-year survival rate was 78.6% and 35.7%, respectively. Conclusion Due to different pathological characteristics, the therapies of liver and gastric multiple primary cancers are completely different from that of the recurring and metastatic carcinoma. Both tumors can be treated by radical resection and the effect is similar to single cancer. Positive treatment is crucial for long-term survival of the patients.
