The excess risk of second malignancy after Hodgkin disease is an increasing problem. In light of the long-term data, guidelines for follow-up of survivors of Hodgkin disease need to be redefined. In this study we attempt to analyze the long-term risks and temporal trends, identify patient- and treatment-related risk factors, and determine the prognosis of patients who develop a second malignanc...

abstract background: breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among iranian women, and is the fifth cause of cancer-related death in iran. most studies have reported an overall excess of 20–30% chance for a second primary cancer to develop in individuals with a first breast cancer. in this study, we evaluated different factors might have a role in increasing the incidence of a second malignan...

UNLABELLED Aim of this study was to identify the association between dermatomyositis and malignancy in China. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 115 cases of dermatomyositis associated with malignancy. RESULTS From 1974 to 2008, there were 678 cases of dermatomyositis collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, China. Among them, 115 cases (1...

The increasing number of living cutaneous melanoma patients and the increased risk of developing a second primary tumour incited us to analyse the clinical characteristics of cutaneous melanoma and define the frequency, site, and type of second primary cancers in cutaneous melanoma patients. We collected data on patients who visited the Department of Dermatology at the Radboud University Nijmeg...

CONTEXT Patients diagnosed with a cancer have a life time risk of developing another de novo malignancy depending on various inherited, environmental and iatrogenic risk factors. Of late the detection of new primary has increased mainly due to refinement in both diagnostic and treatment modalities. Cancer victims are surviving longer and thus are more likely to develop a new metachronous malign...
