Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a rare case of an elderly man diagnosed with three heterochronous cancers affecting the renal pelvis, bladder, and colon, highlighting the unusual nature of multiple primary cancers.
- The patient's journey began in December 2014 with a diagnosis of low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma in the renal pelvis, leading to surgical removal and chemotherapy.
- Two years later, he developed bladder cancer that was thought to be a metastasis from the renal cancer, and after another six years, he presented with new symptoms indicating possible further complications.
Background: The long-term survival in hepatocellullar carcinoma (HCC) patients after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) remains dismal due to local and/or regional recurrence as well as distant metastasis.
