摘要:: Multiple primary cancers were found in 23 of 68 patients (34%) with an index cancer in the oral cavity or pharyngeal area treated in our institute from June 1995 to July 1998. Four cases had triple primary cancers. All 68 cases underwent upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy as well as ultrasonography of the liver. Lung CT was performed in cases with abnormal findings on chest roentgenograms. Multiple cancers were found in 5 of 25 oral cavity cases (20%), 6 of 14 mesopharynx cases (43%) and 12 of 29 hypopharynx cases (41%). Nine of 23 cases (39%) were synchronous and 14 (61%) were metachronous. Eighteen of 27 (69%) secondary cancers occurred in the upper aerodigestive tract with an especially high incidence (22%) in the esophagus. Gastroendoscopy also revealed 7 neoplastic lesions, aside from cancers, with the total abnormal rate of 24% (24/68). Thus, gastroendoscopy is useful for the diagnosis of multiple primary cancers. The frequency of multiple primary cancers in males (33%) was not different from that in females (35%). The average age of multiple primary cancer patients (65.1 years) was a little higher than that of single cancer patient (62.7 years). Smoking or drinking was not related to the incidence of multiple cancers. The interval between the first and the second cancer in metachronous cancer cases was 25.5 months on average, and within 4 years in 71% (10/14) of the cases. This result suggests that close follow-up including endoscopy should be required for at least 4 years after treatment of oral or pharyngeal cancer. Radical treatment for each of the multiple cancer lesions was performed in 22 of 23 cases, and the mortality rate of multiple primary cancer cases was not significantly different from that of single cancer cases. Among 7 cases who died of disease, 5 cases died of distant metastasis, suggesting that control of distant metastasis is an important issue in the treatment of multiple primary cancers.
