New primary malignant tumors in patients treated for carcinoma of the uterine cervix or corpus.

Abstract

Subsequent primary malignancy was revealed in 1.8 per cent of 2, 689 cases with cervical and in 1.7 per cent of 773 cases with corpus carcinoma. In the cervical carcinoma series the most frequent new primary sites were the skin, breast and recto-sigmoid. Of the cases with cervical and corpus carcinoma 18.8 and 30.7 per cent, respectively, had a family history of malignant disease.
