Reports of synchronous or metachronous double kidney-pancreas cancers are very rare.
We present 2 patients with renal cell carcinoma and synchronous (1 patient) or metachronous (1 patient) primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The patients underwent resection for both cancer types with a worthwhile outcome.
The appearance of different primaries in an individual may indicate a genetic predisposition to different neoplasms. The study of double primary cancers is important because it might provide understanding of a shared genetic basis of different solid tumors.
The association between these two cancers demands more detailed epidemiological and molecular investigation. From a clinical viewpoint a resectional policy is recommended.
同步或异时性双肾-胰腺癌的报道非常罕见。
我们报告2例肾细胞癌患者,其中1例为同步性(1例患者)或异时性(1例患者)原发性胰腺导管腺癌。这2例患者均接受了两种癌症的切除手术,结果令人满意。
个体中出现不同的原发性肿瘤可能表明对不同肿瘤有遗传易感性。对双原发性癌症的研究很重要,因为它可能有助于理解不同实体瘤的共同遗传基础。
这两种癌症之间的关联需要更详细的流行病学和分子研究。从临床角度来看,建议采取手术切除策略。
