Multiple primary lung cancer is a rare disease entity and its clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis are poorly described. But the multiple primary lung cancer have a more favorable prognosis than locally recurrent or metastastic disease. Therefore, appropriate identification of multiple primary lung cancer will be very important. We have experienced a case of stage I multiple primary lung cancer in a 76-year-old male with two large mass in the right lower lobe without metastasis in the mediastinal lymph nodes with right mid and lower lobectomy. The microscopic pictures revealed adenocarcinoma in the one & small cell carcinoma in another. The post-operative courses were in uneventful for 4 months & but he was treated with chemotherapies, 2 times for complete remission of small cell carcinoma to now after discharge.

Background: Cancer survivors are at increased risk of second cancers. Lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) are common neoplasms that are primary or subsequent cancers in cases of multiple primary cancer. We here analyzed metachronous or synchronous LPD in multiple primary cancers. Methods: Between 2001 and 2010, LPD were assessed retrospectively in 242 multiple primary cancers patients. Results: Forty nine (20.2%) patients with LPD were detected. Six patients had two LPD where one patient had three LPD. The median age of patients was 60.5 years (range: 28-81). LPD were diagnosed in 29 patients as primary cancer, in 23 patients as second cancer, and in three patients as third cancer in multiple primary cancers. Primary tumor median age was 56 (range: 20-79). Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (n=16), breast cancer (n=9), and lung cancer (n=6) were detected as subsequent cancers. Alklylating agents were used in 19 patients (43.2%) and 20 patients (45.5%) had received radiotherapy for primary cancer treatment. The median follow-up was 70 months (range: 7-284). Second malignancies were detected after a median of 51 months (range: 7-278), and third malignancies with a median of 18 months (range: 6-72). Conclusions: In this study, although breast and lung cancer were the most frequent detected solid cancers in LPD survivors, diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most frequent detected LPD in multiple primary cancers.

다발성 원발성 폐암은 동시성 원발성 페암과 이시성 원발성 폐암으로 나눌 수 있는데 두 가지 경우 모두 드물게 발견되는 폐암의 일종이다. 본원에서는 최근 동시성 원발성 폐암과 이시성 원발성 폐암을 각각 1예씩 수술 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Multiple primary tumors in the head and neck are not uncommon, however those in the thyroid and the larynx are known to be very rare. In most cases of multiple primary tumors involving the thyroid and the larynx, lesions are observed usually simultaneously and thyroid tumors are found incidentally during the laryngeal tumor surgery. In rare cases, thyroid tumors are found metachronously after radiation therapy of laryngeal cancer. The authors recently experienced a case of multiple primary tumor involving the thyroid and the larynx, in which thyroid papillary carcinoma was the index tumor and the laryngeal squamous carcinoma was the meatachronous second tumor. Both tumors showed aggressive local extension and regional nodal meatastasis with tumor collision in the same node. The patient died of recurrent or of residual squamous carcinoma shortly after main surgical treatment index thyroid cancer.

Multiple intracranial tumors of different cell types are rare. We report a case of double primary intracranial tumors of different histologic types : oligodendroglioma, and pituitary adenoma. Von Recklinghausen's disease or other etiologic factors supposedly associated with multiple brain tumors were not recognized in this 36-year-old male patient.

한 환자에서 두개 이상의 중복암이 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물게 알려져 왔으나 근래에 들어와 치료법의 발달로 환자의 수명이 연장되고 진단법이 발달되면서 그 보고가 증가되고 또한 관심도 높아지고 있는 상태이다. 따라서 이런 중복암을 가진 환자의 특성을 분석함으로써 발생할 수 있는 2차 3차 암의 조기 발견 및 나아가서는 발암 물질과 유전적 요인 등을 찾아 암의 치료 및 예방에 이응 할 수 있겠다. 이에 $1978.7\~1986.8$까지 8년간 서울 대학교 병원에서 중복암으로 진단되어 치료받은 121예를 대상으로 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 전체 발생율은$0.7\%$이 있으며 이중 2중복암이 119례, 3중복암이 2례 있었다. 동시성은 (6개월 이내) 51례, 속발성은 (6개월 이상) 70례이었으며 속발성의 경우 $70\%$이상에서 3년내에 2차 암이 발생했다. Moertel분류에 의한 mvlticentriz은 $11.6\%$로 다소 낮은 빈도를 보였으며 다른 장기에 발생한 중복암 중에서는 위암과 간암, 위암과 직장암의 빈도가 가장 높았다.

Multiple primary lung cancer is not common and classified as a synchronous primary lung cancer and a metachronous primary lung cancer. We experienced one case of the triple synchronous primary lung cancer of different cell types. We conducted right pneumonectomy for preoperative diagnosed neuronendocrine tumor of the RUL and adenocarcinoma of the RLL. Pathologic examination revealed the carcinoid tumor of RUL bronchus, the squamous carcinoma of the RML and the adenocarcinoma of the RLL.

In this paper, we address the problem of bandwidth sharing among multiple primary users and multiple secondary users in a cognitive radio network. In cognitive radio networks, effective spectrum assignment for primary and secondary users is a challenge due to the available broad range of radio frequency spectrum as well as the requisition of harmonious coexistence of both users. To handle this problem, firstly, Bertrand game model is used to analyze a spectrum pricing in which multiple primary users emulate with each other to acquire maximal profit. After that, we employ Cournot game to model the spectrum sharing of secondary users to obtain optimal profit for each user also. Simulation results show that our scheme obtains optimal solution at Nash equilibrium.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between multiple early gastric cancer (MEGC) and multiple primary malignancies during the follow-up of patients with gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: The number of primary tumors detected in other organs after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (EGC) has been increasing because of improved survival and surveillance programs. A total of 3,129 patients underwent radical gastrectomy for treatment of EGC at Samsung Medical Center from January 2000 to December 2005. Of these, 3,057 patients were selected and their medical records were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among the 3,057 patients, 148 (4.8%) had MEGC, 84.5% were male, 57.4% were over 60 years old, 42.6% had a macroscopic type EGC IIb main lesion, and 68.9% had well-differentiated tumors with a significantly high incidence of MEGC. There were no differences between patients with solitary early gastric cancer (SEGC) and those with MEGC with regard to overall survival or recurrence-free survival, but MEGC was an independent risk factor for metachronous primary malignancies in other organs (P=0.004, hazard ratio [HR]=2.444). Conclusions: MEGC is not a risk factor for poor prognosis after curative gastrectomy, but it is a risk factor for metachronous primary malignancies in other organs during postoperative follow-up; therefore, careful surveillance is needed.

Multiple myeloma is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells producing a monoclonal immunoglobulin and it is frequently associated with primary amyloidosis. I experienced a medical claims review case of plasma cell dyscrasia with primary amyloidosis. This medical consulting work to insurance claims will be helpful for another similar claims administration.
