Multiple primaries and gynecologic malignancies

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1975 Oct 15;123(4):376-81. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9378(16)33438-x.

Abstract

An analysis was done on all gynecologic malignancies over a 13 year period to review the frequency and types of multiple primaries. A surprising spectrum of malignancy is seen and certain radiologic studies are of particular value. The time from occurrence of the various extragenital and genital tract cancers to the original gynecologic malignancy is shown. The per cent and types of malignancies that subsequently develop after a genital tract cancer are discussed.
