[Clinical and prognostic aspects of multiple cancers].

The anamnestic data, course and prognosis for 76 patients with multiple carcinomas were statistically analyzed in a retrospective study undertaken jointly with the oncological working group. The importance of multidisciplinary care for this group of patients over a period exceeding five years must be emphasized. If the general status of a patient deteriorates, the doctor should always consider the possibility of a second or third carcinoma.
