Multiple primary cancers in patients with malignant melanoma. 1976

S L Boland, and H M Shaw, and G W Milton

The incidence of second primary tumours not related to the skin in patients with malignant melanoma was determined. This was compared with the corresponding incidence of a first primary tumour in the general age-matched population. The available data indicate that, in patients with malignant melanoma, there exists a predisposition to developing a second unrelated cancer.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
