Risk and survival of third primary cancers in a population-based cohort of gastric cancer patients
Digestive and Liver Diseases Dec 18, 2018
Morais S, et al. - Researchers analyzed and followed 7409 cases of gastric first primary cancers (FPCs) [from the Portuguese North Region Cancer Registry (2000-2006)] for third primary cancers (TPCs), and for all-cause death to estimate the 10-year risk and survival of TPCs among gastric FPCs. They diagnosed 25 TPCs and matched TPC (by sex, age group, years between FPC and second primary cancer [SPC] diagnosis, and SPC location) to FPC + SPC cases without a TPC and concluded that FPCs had a 10-year cumulative incidence of 0.4%, the worst survival in TPC cases with a bunch of tobacco-related cancers, also including digestive organs.
