Multiple primary malignancies (MPMs) present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially given their rarity and the distinct treatment strategies required. We report a case of a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with synchronous triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and cervical cancer, an uncommon and complex clinical scenario. Given the complexity of her condition, a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach was employed. The treatment strategy included neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, followed by breast-conserving surgery and axillary lymph node dissection. Simultaneously, cervical cancer was addressed with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and brachytherapy. Remarkably, the patient demonstrated complete pathological responses in both the breast and cervical tumors following treatment. At 26 months of follow-up, she remains free of disease recurrence. This case highlights the challenges of managing synchronous TNBC and cervical cancer. It underscores the necessity for individualized treatment plans and seamless multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Many clinicians recommend that patients diagnosed with HPV-related gynecologic cancers receive prophylactic HPV vaccination at the time of cancer diagnosis or after cancer treatment. In view of the large use of such practice, we aimed to assess the literature evidence supporting the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines after diagnosis or treatment of HPV-related gynecologic cancers. Women who develop HPV-related cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers represent a subgroup of patients who may be particularly sensitive to HPV infection and re-acquire infections.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) following radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (CC). Furthermore, the study seeks to develop a visual model that can effectively assist physicians in improving their proficiency in diagnosing, treating, and preventing CAUTIs.

Patients And Methods: 48 subjects who developed CAUTI postoperatively were assigned to the infection group.
