Abstract
Background When researching female patients with breast or ovarian neoplasms, our research will sensitize oncologists to the prevalence of biliary tract cancers such that early cancers are not overlooked. Depending on different inherited, environmental, and iatrogenic risk factors, patients diagnosed with cancer have a risk of harboring another de novo malignancy. The additional primary identification of late has increased mainly due to progress in both diagnosis and treatment modalities, improvement in life expectancy, and understanding. Methods This is a descriptive study of retrospectively collected data from health records over 15 months, of patients who had biliary tract cancer and incidentally detected coexisting second non-biliary malignancy, from July 2018 to September 2019 at a tertiary care hospital. Details such as age, sex, smoking history, family history, occupation, body mass index (BMI), the organ involved, levels of tumor markers, treatment, and outcome were recorded. Results Six consecutive patients with biliary tract cancer presented during this duration and incidentally detected the second primary was ovarian cancer in three (50%) patients, breast carcinoma in two (33%) patients, and urinary bladder carcinoma in the remaining one patient (17%). The median age at diagnosis was 52.5 years with a range of 40-65 years. All patients were females (100%), non-smokers, homemaker, and without any history of cancer in family members. Only two patients who had a resectable disease were alive at one year's follow-up. Conclusion The mechanisms of carcinogenesis in multiple primary malignancies are mainly genetic, epigenetics, and immunological. Prognosis, as well as the intent of treatment, depends on the respective stages of the two malignancies. In our study, most of the patients were in an advanced stage that demanded palliative care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In contrast to secondary primary malignancies (SPM) following multiple myeloma (MM), less is known about previous malignancies. We therefore conducted a population-based study to assess the patterns of previous malignancies in MM patients as well as the risk for SPM. METHODS Using data from the Cancer Registry of Norway, we included 9574 MM patients and 37 810 matched control subjects. The association between previous malignancies and a subsequent diagnosis of MM was analysed by a logistic regression model and the risk for SPM by a Cox model. RESULTS A previous diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) (OR 3.57; 95% CI:1.45-8.80) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (OR 3.66; 95% CI: 1.40-9.55) was associated with the subsequent development of MM. For MPN, the association with MM was explained by an excess of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in the MM group. The overall incidence of a previous malignancy was not different between MM patients and the control subjects (OR 0.93; 95% CI: 0.87-1.00). MM patients had an increased risk for secondary acute myelogenous leukaemia/myelodysplastic syndromes (HR 6.1, 95% CI: 3.9-9.5). CONCLUSIONS A previous diagnosis of HL and PMF was associated with a subsequent diagnosis of MM, whereas the overall incidence of previous cancers was not increased for MM patients.

Abstract
Cancer survivors are at higher risk than the general population for development of a new primary malignancy, most commonly lung cancer. Current lung cancer screening guidelines recommend low-dose chest CT for high-risk individuals, including patients with a history of cancer and a qualifying smoking history. However, major lung cancer screening trials have inconsistently included cancer survivors, and few studies have assessed management of lung nodules in this population. This narrative review highlights relevant literature and provides expert opinion for management of pulmonary nodules detected incidentally or by screening in oncologic patients. In patients with previously treated lung cancer, a new nodule most likely represents distant metastasis from the initial lung cancer or a second primary lung cancer; CT features such as nodule size and composition should guide decisions regarding biopsy, PET/CT, and CT surveillance. In patients with extrapulmonary cancers, nodule management requires individualized risk assessment; smoking is associated with increased odds of primary lung cancer, whereas specific primary cancer types are associated with increased odds of pulmonary metastasis. Nonneoplastic causes, such as infection, medication toxicity, and postradiation or postsurgical change, should also be considered. Future prospective studies are warranted to provide evidence-based data to assist clinical decision-making in this context.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian clear cell carcinoma has unique clinical and molecular features compared with other epithelial ovarian cancer histologies. Our objective was to describe the incidence of second primary malignancy in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma at two tertiary academic centers in Toronto, Canada between May 1995 and June 2017. Demographic, histopathologic, treatment, and survival details were obtained from chart review and a provincial cancer registry. We excluded patients with histologies other than pure ovarian clear cell carcinoma (such as mixed clear cell histology), and those who did not have their post-operative follow-up at these institutions. RESULTS Of 209 patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 54 patients developed a second primary malignancy (25.8%), of whom six developed two second primary malignancies. Second primary malignancies included: breast (13), skin (9), gastrointestinal tract (9), other gynecologic malignancies (8), thyroid (6), lymphoma (3), head and neck (4), urologic (4), and lung (4). Eighteen second primary malignancies occurred before the index ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 35 after ovarian clear cell carcinoma, and 7 were diagnosed concurrently. Two patients with second primary malignancies were diagnosed with Lynch syndrome. Smoking and radiation therapy were associated with an increased risk of second primary malignancy on multivariable analysis (OR 3.69, 95% CI 1.54 to 9.07, p=0.004; OR 4.39, 95% CI 1.88 to 10.6, p=0.0008, respectively). However, for patients developing second primary malignancies after ovarian clear cell carcinoma, radiation therapy was not found to be a significant risk factor (p=0.17). There was no significant difference in progression-free survival (p=0.85) or overall survival (p=0.38) between those with second primary malignancy and those without. CONCLUSION Patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma are at increased risk of second primary malignancies, most frequently non-Lynch related. A subset of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma may harbor mutations rendering them susceptible to second primary malignancies. Our results may have implications for counseling and consideration for second primary malignancy screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies on sinonasal inverted papillomas (SNIPs) regarding risk factors for recurrence, recurrence rates (RRs) and malignant transformation are biased by a significant proportion of revision cases. METHODS Retrospective study on patients with consecutive, treatment-naïve SNIPs at a tertiary referral center between 1999 and 2019. RESULTS Overall, RR was 9.8% (10 of 102 patients), with 2 of 10 recurrences (20%) occurring after more than 5 years. Histopathological workup revealed synchronous malignancy in 2 of 102 patients (2%). Subgroup analysis revealed a significantly higher RR for SNIPs involving the frontal sinus (26.3% vs 6.0%, P = .02). No SNIPs primarily originating from the frontal sinus were observed. CONCLUSION Overall, RR of treatment-naïve SNIPs is comparably low; however, long-term follow-up is mandatory due to late recurrences. Secondary involvement of the frontal sinus was identified as risk factor for recurrence. No SNIPs primarily originating from frontal sinus were observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The diagnosis of a second primary cancer (SPC) is a major concern in the follow-up of survivors of a primary head and neck cancer (HNC), but the anatomic subsites in the head and neck area are close, making it difficult to distinguish a SPC of a recurrence and therefore register it correctly. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from two population-based cancer registries in Catalonia, Spain: the Tarragona Cancer Registry and the Girona Cancer Registry. All patients diagnosed with HNC during the period 1994-2013 were registered and followed-up to collect cases of SPC. We analysed the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the excess absolute risk (EAR) to determine the risk of second malignancies following a prior HNC. RESULTS 923 SPC were found in a cohort of 5646 patients diagnosed of a first head and neck cancer. Men had an increased risk of a SPC with a SIR of 2.22 and an EAR of 216.76. Women also had an increased risk with a SIR of 2.02 and an EAR of 95.70. We show the risk for different tumour sites and discuss the difficulties of the analysis. CONCLUSION The risks of a SPC following a prior HNC in Tarragona and Girona are similar to those previously found in other similar cohorts. It would appear to be advisable to make a revision of the international rules of classification of multiple tumours, grouping the sites of head and neck area with new aetiological criteria to better determine and interpret the risks of SPC obtained in these studies.

Is remnant pancreatic cancer after pancreatic resection more frequent in early-stage pancreatic cancer than in advanced-stage cancer? Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2020; 4:448-454. [PMID: 32724889 PMCID: PMC7382434 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM As the prognosis of patients who undergo resection for pancreatic cancer has improved, reports of remnant pancreatic cancer after pancreatic cancer resection have been increasing. Previous studies regarding early-stage pancreatic cancer showed a high incidence of remnant pancreatic cancer in these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of remnant pancreatic cancer according to the degree of progression of the initial pancreatic cancer. METHODS Patients who underwent partial pancreatic resection for primary pancreatic cancer were retrospectively reviewed and divided into an early-stage group and an advanced-stage group according to the stage of the initial cancer. Patient characteristics and long-term outcomes, including development of remnant pancreatic cancer, were compared between the two groups. RESULTS This study included 321 patients who underwent partial pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer; 32 patients in the early-stage group and 289 patients in the advanced-stage group. Remnant pancreatic cancer developed in 19 patients (5.9%); seven patients (21.9%) in the early-stage group and 12 patients (4.5%) in the advanced-stage group. The cumulative incidence of remnant pancreatic cancer according to the Kaplan-Meier method was comparable between the two groups (5-year cumulative incidence: 20.6% vs 9.9%, early-stage group vs advanced-stage group; P = .1827). CONCLUSION Our results suggested that the potential for developing remnant pancreatic cancer was comparable between the early-stage and the advanced-stage groups. Therefore, the incidence of remnant pancreatic cancer may increase along with improved pancreatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparative risks of a second cancer diagnosis are uncertain after primary cancer treatment with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), or proton beam radiotherapy (PBRT). METHODS Pediatric and adult patients with a first cancer diagnosis between 2004 and 2015 who received 3DCRT, IMRT, or PBRT were identified in the National Cancer Database from 9 tumor types: head and neck, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, lymphoma, lung, prostate, breast, bone/soft tissue, and brain/central nervous system. The diagnosis of second cancer was modeled using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age, follow-up duration, radiotherapy (RT) dose, chemotherapy, sociodemographic variables, and other factors. Propensity score matching also was used to balance baseline characteristics. RESULTS In total, 450,373 patients were identified (33.5% received 3DCRT, 65.2% received IMRT, and 1.3% received PBRT) with median follow-up of 5.1 years after RT completion and a cumulative follow-up period of 2.54 million person-years. Overall, the incidence of second cancer diagnosis was 1.55 per 100 patient-years. In a comparison between IMRT versus 3DCRT, there was no overall difference in the risk of second cancer (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.00; 95% CI, 0.97-1.02; P = .75). By comparison, PBRT had an overall lower risk of second cancer versus IMRT (adjusted OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.26-0.36; P < .0001). Results within each tumor type generally were consistent in the pooled analyses and also were maintained in propensity score-matched analyses. CONCLUSIONS The risk of a second cancer diagnosis was similar after IMRT versus 3DCRT, whereas PBRT was associated with a lower risk of second cancer risk. Future work is warranted to determine the cost-effectiveness of PBRT and to identify the population best suited for this treatment.

Abstract
After their initial presentation of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), patients have a lifelong risk of developing another new SCC of the head and neck. The aim of this study was to establish second primary rates, baseline characteristics (site, clinical or pathological stage, and smoking and alcohol history), timing, presentation, treatment, and outcomes. From the regional unit we analysed records of patients treated with curative intent for their first oral cancer between 2002 and 2007 inclusive. All patients had had at least 10 years of follow up either to death or the end of 2017. A total of 347 patients had been treated with curative intent, and of them, 29 had a second primary at a median (IQR) of 52 (30-79) months after the index operation. The incidence of developing a second primary tumour within two years was 1.7% (95% CI: 0.7% to 3.7%), within five years was 4.9% (95% CI: 2.9% to 7.7%), and within 10 years was 7.8% (95% CI: 5.1% to 11.1%). Early stage of first cancer was the only significant factor (p=0.001) for development of a second primary within 10 years, reflecting survivorship. Most second primaries (21 patients) were staged as early, and by visual inspection. Most (n=20) were within the oral cavity, one of which overlapped the oropharynx; eight others were in the oropharynx, and one in the larynx. Most patients (n=22) were treated by operation with curative intent. Three were treated palliatively. Patients need to be aware of the risk of a second primary and, as most are in the mouth or oropharynx, there is a role for surveillance by primary dental care practitioners.

Abstract
Gastric conduit used for reconstruction after esophagectomy for cancer has the potential to develop a metachronous neoplasm known as gastric tube cancer (GTC). The aim of this study was to review literature and evaluate outcomes and possible treatment strategies for GTC. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials. No restriction was set for the type of publication, number, age, or sex of the patients. The search was limited to articles in English. Characteristics of esophageal cancer (EC) and its treatment and GTC and its treatment were analyzed. A total of 28 studies were analyzed, 12 retrospective analyses and 16 case reports, involving 229 patients with 250 GTCs in total. The majority of ECs (88.2%) were squamous cell carcinomas. In 120 patients (52.4%) a posterior mediastinal reconstructive route was used when esophagectomy was performed. The mean interval between esophagectomy and diagnosis of GTC was 55.8 months, with a median interval of 56.8 months (4-236 months). One hundred and twenty-four GTCs (49.6%) were located in the lower part of the gastric tube. One hundred and forty patients were endoscopically treated. Eighty-five patients underwent surgery. Thirty-six total gastrectomies with lymphadenectomy with colon or jejunal interposition were performed. Forty-three subtotal gastrectomies and 6 wedge resections were performed. The main reported postoperative complications were anastomotic leak, vocal cord palsy, and respiratory failure. Twenty-five patients were treated with palliative chemotherapy. Three-year survival rates were 69.3% for endoscopically treated patients, 58.8% for surgically resected patients, and 4% for patients who underwent palliative treatment. The feasibility of endoscopic resections in patients diagnosed with superficial GTC has been reported. Surgical treatment represented the preferred treatment method in operable patients with locally invasive tumor. Patients treated with conservative therapy have a scarce prognosis. The development of GTC should be taken into consideration during the extended follow-up of patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer. Total gastrectomy plus lymphadenectomy should be considered the preferred treatment modality in operable patients with locally invasive tumor, when endoscopy is contraindicated. Long-term yearly endoscopic follow-up is recommended.

Abstract
Lung cancer as a second primary malignancy (lung‐2) is increasingly common, but its prognosis is poorly understood. This study aims to examine the overall and cancer‐specific survival of patients diagnosed with lung‐2 compared to lung‐1. Primary lung cancer patients diagnosed from 1988 to 2014 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program were included. Lung‐2 was identified in patients with a previous diagnosis of nonlung primary malignancy in SEER. Hazard ratios (HRs) of overall and lung cancer‐specific mortality were estimated among patients with lung‐2 compared to lung‐1, adjusting for age and calendar period at diagnosis, sex, race, socioeconomic status, tumor stage, histology, tumor grade, and treatment. A total of 679 541 and 85 758 patients were identified as lung‐1 and lung‐2, respectively. Compared to lung‐1, patients with lung‐2 were more likely to be diagnosed at localized stage, with smaller primary tumor, and treated with surgery. Lung‐2 patients were at lower risk of lung cancer‐specific mortality in the first 5 years (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.76‐0.78 at <1 year; HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.86‐0.89 from 1 to <5 years) but at higher risk thereafter (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.27‐1.37 from 5 to 10 years), independent of tumor characteristics and cancer treatment. Similar pattern was found for overall mortality, although the survival benefit was restricted to the first year after diagnosis. Patients diagnosed with lung‐2 face a favorable lung cancer‐specific survival within the early period after diagnosis. A conservative approach to manage lung‐2 solely based on malignancy history is not supported.

Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) and lung cancer are the most two common cancers with highest morbidity and mortality for women. With prolonged survival, there comes the possibility that BC patients will develop second primary cancers. We evaluate the characteristics, incidence and survival of second primary non-small cell lung cancer (BC-NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (BC-SCLC) after breast cancer. Patients and methods: Second primary lung cancer risks using standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) [95% confidence intervals (95% CIs)] were calculated among breast cancer patients in SEER-18 (2000-2014). Survival outcomes were also analyzed for both BC-NSCLC and BC-SCLC. Results: A total of 6,269 second lung cancer patients after a localized or regional BC were identified. The incidence rate was modestly higher compared to the general population (SIR = 1.03; 95%CI: 1.00-1.06). For ER-, PR- and HER2- groups, SIRs were 1.26, 1.16, 1.13, respectively (all p < 0.05). Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have an even higher incidence rate of lung cancer (SIR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.29-1.94). Elevated SIRs were also observed among the following groups: within 1 year after BC diagnosed, a young age at BC diagnosed, black people, poorly or undifferentiated histological grade of breast cancer. Median survival (MST) after localized, regional and distant BC-NSCLC was 68.0, 26.0, and 6.0m. Five-year survival rates for BC-NSCLC were 53.9, 29.8 and 5.7% in each stage, which were significantly higher compared to first primary NSCLC (all p < 0.001). ER-/PR- or TNBC were unfavorable prognostic factors for BC-NSCLC. The survival rates of BC-SCLC were no significant different compared to first primary SCLC. Conclusion: BC patients, especially for TNBC, are at a high risk of developing second primary lung cancers. BC history may be a favorable prognostic factor for NSCLC (but not SCLC) patients. Clinicians should closely follow up BC patients with high-risk factors.

Second primary cancer (SPC) is an important prognostic factor for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC); therefore, the association between the prognosis and development of SPC has been well-reported. The use of 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is valuable to examine cancer stage, evaluate treatment responses and investigate suspected relapses or metastases. In the present study, the case of a male patient who was diagnosed with three primary cancer types, including well to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the mandible, axillary cutaneous poorly differentiated SCC and prostate adenocarcinoma, was described. Among these, mandible cancer was the first diagnosed when the patient was 70 years of age. Synchronous skin and prostate cancer (PRC) types then developed 3 years later. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the aforementioned combination of cancer types. Postoperative FDG-PET was not performed as no lesions of recurrence or metastases of mandible cancer were found. Three years later, the PRC was asymptomatic and was incidentally detected by FDG-PET performed for a preoperative evaluation of skin cancer. It was indicated that FDG-PET could be utilized in patients with HNC due to there being no accurate FDG-PET protocol to detect SPC over a long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Although personalization of cancer care is recommended, current follow‐up after the curative treatment of breast cancer is consensus‐based and not differentiated for base‐line risk. Every patient receives annual follow‐up for 5 years without taking into account the individual risk of recurrence. The aim of this study was to introduce personalized follow‐up schemes by stratifying for age. Using data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry of 37 230 patients with early breast cancer between 2003 and 2006, the risk of recurrence was determined for four age groups (<50, 50‐59, 60‐69, >70). Follow‐up was modeled with a discrete‐time partially observable Markov decision process. The decision to test for recurrences was made two times per year. Recurrences could be detected by mammography as well as by self‐detection. For all age groups, it was optimal to have more intensive follow‐up around the peak in recurrence risk in the second year after diagnosis. For the first age group (<50) with the highest risk, a slightly more intensive follow‐up with one extra visit was proposed compared to the current guideline recommendation. The other age groups were recommended less visits: four for ages 50‐59, three for 60‐69, and three for ≥70. With this model for risk‐based follow‐up, clinicians can make informed decisions and focus resources on patients with higher risk, while avoiding unnecessary and potentially harmful follow‐up visits for women with very low risks. The model can easily be extended to take into account more risk factors and provide even more personalized follow‐up schedules.

Abstract
Second primary malignancy (SPM) is a severe issue for cancer survivors, particularly for osteosarcoma (OS) survivors. To date, the associations between subsequent SPM and OS have been well reported. Hematogenic and solid malignancies tend to occur following OS treatment. Reportedly, 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is mainly used in OS patients for initial cancer staging, to evaluate the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and when recurrence or metastasis is clinically suspected. The present case report describes a 70-year-old man diagnosed with three primary malignancies: jaw OS, myelodysplastic syndrome and colorectal adenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this combination of malignancies has not been reported previously. Until now, there is no specific protocol of postoperative FDG-PET for OS patients. Few studies have described OS follow-up methods; therefore, there is no consensus on proper follow-up methods. In the present case report, the colorectal early-stage SPM was observed, without any symptoms, by FDG-PET/computed tomography. To avoid overlooking solid SPMs, it is suggested that FDG-PET should be performed in the long-term follow-up of OS patients.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing complete resection of thymoma occasionally develop a recurrence of thymoma; they are also at risk of developing a second malignancy. The objective of our study was to compare the incidence and mortality of a second malignancy versus a recurrence of thymoma during the postoperative follow-up period after complete resection of thymoma. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed on our prospectively maintained database to identify patients undergoing complete resection of thymoma at our institution between 1991 and 2016. The incidence and related mortality of a second malignancy or recurrence of thymoma were recorded. Results One hundred and sixty-four patients were identified. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 239 months (median 54 months). During follow-up, 12 patients had a recurrence of thymoma and 14 developed a second malignancy. The mean risk ratio of recurrence to second malignancy was 0.58 (95% confidence interval: 0.48-0.69) at 5 years, 0.58 (95% confidence interval: 0.49-0.68) at 10 years, and 0.51 (95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.60) at 15 years. The mean risk ratio of recurrence versus second malignancy for related death was 0.59 (95% confidence interval: 0.50-0.70) at 5 years and 0.61 (95% confidence interval: 0.52-0.72) at 10 years. Conclusion It appears that patients undergoing complete resection of thymoma have a higher incidence of a second malignancy and a greater related mortality rate than a recurrence of thymoma. A multiinstitutional database is required to more rigorously evaluate both risks and to confirm our results.

Abstract
AIM To report the incidence of urological complications following curative radiation treatment for early prostate cancer, including minimally invasive urological procedures (MUIP), hospital admissions and open surgical procedures. Second malignancies following radiation are also reported and compared with patients undergoing a prostatectomy. METHODS Included were patients receiving curative intent external beam radiation treatment for early prostate cancer between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2009. Medical records were reviewed for baseline characteristics, treatment details and outcomes. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to derive the 5-year cumulative incidence of the urological outcomes and second malignancy. RESULTS There were 439 patients identified. The median follow-up was 6.96 years. The median age was 69. A total of 56 patients developed a radiation related urological complication, 25 requiring hospital admission. The 5-year cumulative incidence for an MIUP and admission was 3.95% (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.47-6.28) and 2.24% (95% CI, 1.17-4.27), respectively. There were no open surgical procedures. Further malignancy developed in 27 patients during the 5- to 9-year posttreatment period with a cumulative incidence of 10.7% (95% CI, 7.31-15.51). Of the comparator prostatectomy group, of the 265 eligible patients analyzed, 19 patients developed a second malignancy with a cumulative incidence of 9.92% (95% CI, 6.28-15.48). On log-rank testing, there was no difference in the cumulative incidence rates of second malignancy between 5 and 9 years, following respective treatments (P = 0.8554). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of MUIP, hospital admissions and open surgical procedures following radiation is reassuringly low. The second malignancy rates are also low and similar to the rates in patients treated with a prostatectomy.

Abstract
Objective Many head and neck cancers (HNCs) have genomic features seen in breast malignancy. We sought to analyze the risk of second primary HNC following an index breast cancer. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting National database from the SEER registry (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results). Subjects and Methods Within the SEER database, 223,423 women diagnosed with index breast cancer from 1992 to 2002 were identified. We calculated standard incidence ratios (SIRs) for all head and neck sites with 10-year follow-up. Results Women diagnosed with an index breast cancer did not exhibit higher likelihood of developing second primary HNC (SIR = 0.99; 95% CI, 0.90-1.07). The risk was determined for each subsite of the head and neck, and salivary gland cancer presented the highest risk. Patients with index breast cancer were 83% more likely to develop salivary gland cancer than what would be expected in the general population (SIR = 1.83; 95% CI, 1.49-2.22). An overall trend of increased risk was observed for salivary gland cancers between 1992 and 2002. There was no significant higher risk observed for the other head and neck subsites. Conclusion Patients with index breast cancer did not have a higher-than-expected risk of developing HNC. We did find an increased incidence of salivary gland cancers among patients with index breast cancer. Patients were 80% more likely to develop salivary gland cancer than that expected within the population. These findings warrant further investigation on the relationship between salivary gland and breast malignancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Completion lobectomy after radical segmentectomy is relatively rare, with no systematic evaluation of this challenging procedure. We aimed to clarify the details of this operation performed in 3 Japanese institutions. METHODS Completion lobectomy after segmentectomy in the same lobe was performed in 11 patients (9 lung cancers and 2 metastatic lung tumors) between 2007 and 2013. Surgical outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The 11 patients accounted for 1.37% of the 805 segmentectomies performed in the 3 institutions. The reasons for completion lobectomy were postoperative complications in the remaining lobe (n = 3), positive pathological lymph node metastasis found by permanent section (n = 3), and malignancy in the remaining lobe (n = 5). The patients were divided into two groups according the interval between segmentectomy and completion lobectomy: group A (3-35 days, n = 5) and group B (56-1470 days, n = 6). There was a tendency for more severe adhesions around the hilum (p = 0.061) in group B, resulting in increased operative bleeding (p = 0.055), more usage of fibrin glue (p = 0.080), and significantly longer operative time (p = 0.036). Injury to the pulmonary arteries was experienced only in group B (3/6 cases). There was no operation-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS Completion lobectomy may become more difficult approximately 5 weeks after segmentectomy, due to severe adhesions, but it can be performed safely with careful manipulation.

Abstract
Background and aim This study aimed at determining whether there is a risk regarding the development of second primary malignancies after patient exposure to the low and medium radioiodine activity used during the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). Methods Second primary malignancies that occurred after DTC were detected in 1,990 patients treated between 1970 and 2003. The mean long-term follow-up period was 182 months. Results Radioiodine I-131was administrated at a mean dose of 63.2 mCi. There were 93 patients with at least one second primary malignancy. The relative risk of development of second malignancy in DTC patients was increased (p<0.0001) for breast, uterine and ovarian cancers compared with the general population. Conclusions The overall risk concerning the development of second primary malignancies was related to the presence of DTC, but not to exposure to the low and medium activities of radioiodine administered as adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
The involvement of the female genital tract in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) has not been fully elucidated in women, although involvement is usually associated with a poor prognosis. The vagina, in particular, is considered to be the most commonly affected gynecological organ, with an incidence of 4% of total TCC cases. The pathogenesis of vaginal TCC is challenging to determine, although it is essential for the adequate management of the tumor and to determine the appropriate treatment. The present study reports a case of bladder TCC and metachronous vaginal TCC. The patient had a history of high risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer treated by BCG and presented with a recurrent carcinoma in situ. A novel cycle of BCG was initiated but the patient had a persistent disease and a palpable mass on bimanual examination. Radical anterior pelvectomy and bilateral pelvic and inguinal lymph node dissection was performed revealing the presence of TCC of the bladder neck and the invasion into the anterior vaginal wall. The differences between local vaginal invasion and the metastatic spread from a primary bladder TCC, the occurrence of a second primary vaginal tumor and the direct implantation of TCC via urine that contains transitional cancer cells were reviewed and analyzed. Finally, a management plan was determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are at risk for second primary malignancies (SPMs). The prevalence, distribution, and patient survival in head and neck versus non-head and neck SPMs are not fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to quantify the rate of SPMs in patients with HNSCC. METHODS This is a population-based cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Prevalence and location of SPMs, and survival data were analyzed. RESULTS There were 58,363 HNSCC patients, and the prevalence of HNSCC and non-HNSCC SPMs was 3.0% (1,746) and 8.8% (5,109), respectively. Overall survival (OS) was higher in patients with HNSCC SPMs compared to non-HNSCC SPMs (p < 0.001), with no difference in disease-specific survival. Patients with SPMs in the lung and esophagus had a worse OS (p < 0.001), and patients with SPMs in the prostate and breast had a better OS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In HNSCC patients who develop SPMs, nearly 75% are non-HNSCC SPMs. Patients with non-HNSCC SPMs have a lower OS. Future clinical practice guidelines should take the risks and locations of SPM development into consideration for screening.

Abstract
There is sparse information concerning approaches to metachronous lung cancer in patients who had a previous pneumonectomy for lung carcinoma. We describe the case of a 55-year-old woman who underwent a left pneumonectomy for lung carcinoma. Four years later, a radiological examination revealed a hypermetabolic nodule in the right upper lobe, which was located in the left hemithorax because of right lung hyperinflation and a mediastinal shift to the left. Wedge resection was carried out through a left anterior mediastinotomy. We believe that an anterior mediastinotomy represents a valuable option for the management of recurrent lung cancer after previous surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE We analyzed patterns and factors associated with receipt of breast and cervical cancer screening in a cohort of colorectal cancer survivors. METHODS Individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Nova Scotia between January 2001 and December 2005 were eligible for inclusion. Receipt of breast and cervical cancer screening was determined using administrative data. General-population age restrictions were used in the analysis (breast: 40-69 years; cervical: 21-75 years). Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess time to first screen. RESULTS Of 318 and 443 colorectal cancer survivors eligible for the breast and cervical cancer screening analysis respectively, 30.1% [95% confidence interval (ci): 21.2% to 39.0%] never received screening mammography, and 47.9% (95% ci: 37.8% to 58.0%) never received cervical cancer screening during the study period. Receipt of screening before the colorectal cancer diagnosis was strongly associated with receipt of screening after diagnosis (hazard ratio for breast cancer screening: 4.71; 95% ci: 3.42 to 6.51; hazard ratio for cervical cancer screening: 6.83; 95% ci: 4.58 to 10.16). CONCLUSIONS Many colorectal cancer survivors within general-population screening age recommendations did not receive breast and cervical cancer screening. Future research should focus on survivors who meet age recommendations for population-based cancer screening.
