When asked why he robbed banks, an astute and success ful criminal
is said to have replied "Because that's where the money is kept."
Why study patients with multiple primary cancers? The answer
follows the same practical approach. Because the intensive
investigation of such patients is very likely to yield data useful
to both the clinical and research on cologist. Studies of this
problem provide an immediate return for the clinician responsible
for the care of cancer patients. With improved forms of therapy,
these individuals are enjoying longer periods of survival. One
important factor in maintaining increased survival is the early
detection and treatment of new primary tumors which may develop.
Analyses of multiple primary malignancies serve as a guide to the
probable anatomic location of a subsequent primary and help define
characteristics of the individual at high risk for multiple primary
cancer. But just as treatment may improve the life of the cancer
patient, it may also increase the risk of a subsequent malignancy.
Studies of multiple primaries provide an efficient means for
quantifying potentially harmful effects of current therapeutic
modalities."
