Abstract
Background: Multiple primary carcinoma (MPC) refers to two or more types of primary malignant tumors occurring simultaneously or sequentially in the same patient. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors affecting women. On the other hand, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In clinical practice, the simultaneous existence of metachronous primary breast cancer and lymphoma is rare. In this case, we highlight the significance of multidisciplinary management and advanced imaging techniques in the early identification and treatment of MPC cases.
Case summary: In this study, we report a case of a 40-year-old female who was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (T3N1M0 stage IIIA LuminalB type) as the first primary cancer and DLBCL (stage IIIA) as the second primary cancer. The patient underwent the modified radical mastectomy for left breast cancer and received Rituximab, cyclophospha-mide, hydroxydaunorubicin, Oncovin (vincristine) and prednisolone regimen chemotherapy treatment for DLBCL. As of now, the patient is in stable condition. The successful diagnosis of the present patient highlights the need for multidisciplinary management and adoption of advanced imaging techniques to identify the second primary cancer, especially NHL.
Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis and management of metachronous MPC requires an interdisciplinary team and selection of an appropriate treatment plan.
期刊介绍:
The WJCO is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCO is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of oncology. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCO is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCO are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in oncology. Scope: Art of Oncology, Biology of Neoplasia, Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Cancer-Related Complications, Diagnosis in Oncology, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Genetic Testing For Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Hematologic Malignancy, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Molecular Oncology, Neurooncology, Palliative and Supportive Care, Pediatric Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Urologic Oncology.
