Synchronous cancers are multiple cancers that develop within six months of the initial diagnosis while metachronous cancers are those that develop more than six months after the initial diagnosis. A combination of three cancers is seen with several patients, which leads to a bad prognosis, and that of synchronous cancers is worse than that of metachronous cancers. Herein, we describe the case of a 62-year-old woman with multiple metachronous head and neck cancers.
同时性癌症是指在初次诊断后六个月内发生的多种癌症,而异时性癌症是指在初次诊断六个月后发生的癌症。有几位患者出现了三种癌症同时存在的情况,这导致预后不良,且同时性癌症的预后比异时性癌症更差。在此,我们描述一例62岁患有多处异时性头颈癌的女性病例。
