ABSTRACT

With the improvement of living standard and the change of diet structure,the incidence of multiple primary carcinoma has increased significantly,which is related to the improvement of diagnosis level.In clinical work,multiple primary carcinoma was easily misdiagnosed with metastatic cancer.Many patients lost their best time to treat,because principles and prognosis of them were distinctly different.Strengthen the understanding of multiple primary carcinoma,in order to detect,diagnose and treat earlier,is beneficial to improve the survival of patients.Based on this background,this article reviewed the epidemiology,etiology,pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment strategies of multiple primary carcinoma,aiming at improving the prognosis of patients.
