Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence of multiple primary malignancies in patients at the University of Zagreb's oncology department from 2003 to 2009, finding an incidence rate of 2.4%.
- Among the 103 patients, 97 had two primary tumors and 6 had three, with a majority being metachronous (83 cases) rather than synchronous (20 cases).
- The findings indicate that females were more affected than males, often diagnosed at a younger age, with common tumor combinations differing by gender, suggesting increasing rates due to better screening and treatment advances.
