ABSTRACT
Two large groups of patients, i.e. 1893 patients treated at the Institute for carcinoma cervicis uteri and 1184 patients with Ca corporis uteri were selected and evaluated for a follow-up study and statistical processing of tumor duplicity of gynecological origin. Double tumor in the group with Ca cervicis uteri was found in 88 women, i.e. 4.6%, and in that treated for Ca corporis uteri in 85, i.e. 7.2% of the patients. The most frequent combination in the two groups of carcinoma is breast cancer amounting to 28.4% in Ca cervicis uteri and to 35.3% in Ca corporis uteri. The second most frequent primary carcinoma in Ca cervicis uteri is dermal carcinoma--23.9%, and in Ca corporis uteri that of the digestive tract--21.1%. A statistical follow-up over 40 years indicates a rise in tumor duplicity in both groups of gynecological carcinoma--cervical and endometrial, with the number in the former having increased more than twofold.
