Abstract

Reports of synchronous multiple primary cancers in patients with oral cancer have recently been increasing because of progress in radiographic diagnostic techniques. Multiple primary cancers in patients with oral cavity cancer mainly occur in the head and neck region, lung, and esophagus. 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography is usually used to identify synchronous multiple primary cancers. We herein describe a 69-year-old woman diagnosed with synchronous quadruple multiple primary cancers, namely a squamous cell carcinoma of the mobile tongue, invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast, intraductal carcinoma of the left breast, and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney. We removed the four tumors over three surgical procedures to reduce the surgical risk because the patient had diabetes mellitus. To the best of our knowledge, this combination of multiple primary cancers has not been reported to date. Importantly, we followed this case for 5 years after surgery. The patient was alive and well with no clinical or radiologic signs of recurrent or metastatic disease at the time of this writing. In the present case, the kidney cancer could not be detected by 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography but could be detected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. To avoid overlooking multiple primary cancers of the kidney, we suggest that contrast-enhanced computed tomography should cover a region extending to the inferior margin of the kidney, rather than only to the liver, in patients with oral cavity cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2016.
All research outputs
#14,236,953
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#435
of 2,043 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#138,951
of 268,158 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#8
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,043 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,158 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
