ABSTRACT
We report a case with surgery for the 2nd primary double lung cancers-adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma which developed in the right upper lobe after 5 years successful control by chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer in the left upper lobe. Long term survivors with small cell lung cancer have recently increased as a result of progress of chemotherapy. Therefore, 2nd primary lung cancer is not rare after the treatment for the initial small cell lung cancer. Although several causes have been proposed on the development of 2nd primary lung cancer after small cell lung cancer treatment, smoking history was strongly suggested as a cause in this case. Careful follow-up especially focusing on 2nd primary lung cancer development is necessary for patients after successful treatment for small cell lung cancer.
