Abstract:
【Objective】 To study the incidence, possible etiology, diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma with multiple primary carcinom a. 【Method】 45 cases of EC with other primary tumors were eligible for the ret rospective study. 【Results】 Of 1389 cases with EC, the rate of EC accompanied wit h other primary carcinoma was 3.2% (45/1389); the interval between two tumors d iagnosed was ranged from 8 months to 19 years. The percentage of interval more t han 5 years accounted for 62% (16/26). Among these 45 patients, the percentage o f EC complicated by other reproductive tract tumor was 53%(24/45), of them, 19 were synchronous carcinoma. The rate of EC with breast cancer and colo-rectal carcinoma were 169%(7/45), and 11%(5/45) respectively. Clinical staging for pati ents with EC plus multiple primary malignancy were 30 with stage Ⅰ, 9 stage Ⅱ, 3 stage Ⅲ and 2 stage Ⅳ. All patients with first primary tumors were treated by radical treatment. While 8 cases were also treated by radiation and 6 cases t reated by chemotherapy. In this group, all multiple primary tumors were treated by radical therapy. The overall 5-year survival rate was 63%. 【Conclusions】 ①The possibility of second primary tumor, such as female reproductive tract tu mor , breast cancer, and colo-rectal carcinoma should be considered in the patients with EC. ②The etiology of EC with multiple primary tumor may be relevant to th e same embryonic histogenesis, estrogen receptor, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
