TNM stage is the most important determinant of survival in metachronous lung cancer.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Distinguishing a metachronous lung cancer from a metastatic or recurrent lesion in patients with a prior history of non-small cell lung cancer is a challenging task. Previous studies have suggested histologic type and disease-free ... Read more...

[Multiple primary neoplasms - coincidence or tumor syndrom?]

7 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Multiple primary neoplasms occur either by hazard or in the context of hereditary cancer syndromes, after chronic toxic exposition, in immunodeficiency or as secondary malignancies after radio- and/or chemotherapy. CASE REPORT: We ... Read more...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery to the surgical cavity following resection of brain metastases.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: This study evaluated the efficacy of postoperative Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) to the tumor cavity following gross-total resection of a brain metastasis. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of 700 patients who were treated for brain ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Neoplasms, Second Primary'

Definition: Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause.
