[Synchronous tumor treatment in the presence of gynecologycal cancer in three patients].

During the examination of patients, the probability of the occurrence of a secondary tumour is 15.2%, while that of a tertiary tumour is 1.3% [1]. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the fact that the surgical treatment of synchronous tumours in one session, if proper professional background is ensured, provides definite benefits for the patients. No protocols for the treatment of multiple tumours can be found in the relevant literature; mostly descriptions of cases are available to give orientation. The preoperative stage of the diseases, the examination protocol, the surgical procedure and the biopsy results are detailed in the study. In the article, the treatment of a triplex tumour - vulva, rectum and sigma tumour -, a large colon tumour and an endometrial adenocarcinoma with open surgery is described as well as the minimally invasive surgery of a rectal and synchronous endometrial adenocarcinoma with a patient who has gone through neoadjuvant therapy are presented. The three cases presented here prove that the surgical treatment in one session was clearly beneficial for the patients, let alone cost-efficiency. The article is not about the discussion of post-surgical or adjuvant treatments; decisions about these are to be made by the multidisciplinary professional committees of the hospitals, based on the particular situations.
