Abstract

The cancer survival rates continue to increase with the passing day owing to advances in diagnostic modalities, therapeutic strategies and the ongoing research. Simultaneously, there is also an increase in the incidence of multiple primary cancers due to the increased survival, long term effects of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, higher diagnostic sensitivity and the persisting effects of behavioural and genetic risk factors. Multiple Primary Malignancies (MPM) was first described in 1879 by Billroth. Multiple primary tumours are defined as synchronous or metachronous tumours presenting in the same individual. The neoplasms may be limited to a single organ or may involve multiple anatomical organs. This article presents a case study of a 72-year old female, who was referred to our institute with a history of lump in the left breast and fracture of left clavicle.
