Can a person have four types of cancer at the same time?
Can a person develop four types of cancer at the same time? The answer is yes, this is the so-called multiple primary cancers. However, the probability of getting four cancers at the same time is extremely low, but it is not uncommon to get two cancers at the same time, which is called double primary cancers. At present, I have only seen a limited number of cases of four cancers at the same time, but I have not seen any patient with four cancers at the same time, but it is entirely possible, only that the probability is extremely low.
Note that when we say four types of cancer here, we mean four different primary cancers. Some people take one kind of cancer, such as lung cancer, and metastasize it to the liver, and he says that what is on the liver is liver cancer, and when it metastasizes to the brain, he says that it is brain cancer, and when it metastasizes to the bone, he says that it is bone cancer, and this kind of cancer is not four kinds of cancer, but is still just one kind of cancer, that is, lung cancer, and the foci on the liver, the foci on the brain, and the foci on the bones are metastatic foci, which are metastasized from the lung cancer, and they are still essentially lung cancer, so no matter how many metastatic foci are involved, it is still Therefore, no matter how many metastases there are, it is still a kind of cancer. Therefore, no matter how many metastases there are, it is still one kind of cancer. Only when there are four different primary cancers at the same time can it be called multiple primary cancers, and only then can it be considered that there are four kinds of cancers at the same time.
Simultaneous means that at the time of diagnosis, these four primary cancers existed at the same time, or the time difference between the diagnosis is very short. If one cancer is finished with treatment and another cancer is found later, this is not called simultaneous, but is called successive cancers. In terms of probability, the probability of getting two or more primary cancers successively is greater than the probability of getting multiple cancers at the same time. Among multiple primary cancers, double primary cancers (two primary cancers) are the most common, followed, of course, by three and four. However, the probability of getting more than three primary cancers at the same time is extremely low, although it has been said repeatedly that this happens and is not surprising.
Haha friend you are dreaming, right? Talking about cancer, you have heard of it, individual heard that they have cancer, thought and heart pressure increased, after treatment soon left the world.
Cancer patients found early, after surgery to remove cancer cells, after chemotherapy to alleviate the spread of cancer cells to continue life, the cancer cells develop to the middle and late stages of the difficult to cure, got a kind of cancer heart unbearable, a person at the same time suffered from four kinds of cancer which can still be saved?
This is possible. Epithelial swellings are called carcinomas ...... They are named differently for different parts of the body ......
I'm Dr. Shadow. Can a person have four types of cancer at the same time? It is possible, but so far, I have not seen any patient with four types of cancer. Every organ in the human body can get cancer, and if one organ gets cancer, other organs can still get cancer. I have seen patients with two and three types of cancer, but the probability of having four types of cancer is too low, and if this is really the case, it is really very unfortunate.
Getting four different cancers means that all four cancers are derived from different tissues. For example, getting lung cancer and then finding out you have liver, breast and cervical cancer at the same time. The chances of getting cancer in four organs is just too low, too low, but it is still theoretically possible. This does not include metastatic cancer, for example, if liver cancer is found and at the same time a mass is found in the lungs, and the pathology confirms that it is liver cancer that has metastasized to the lungs, this does not count as having two cancers, and metastasized is like having a mother and a son. And getting more than two cancers is several mothers, each of which is the primary cancer.
A coworker of mine just had cervical cancer and then a year later found out she had lung cancer. Both cancers were operated on, and now 5 years later, she is still fine, going to work and living a normal life.
We have also seen patients who had breast cancer on the left side, then two years later breast cancer was found on the right side, and three years later cervical cancer was found. All of the cancers in this patient were common cancers of the female reproductive system, and her family's genetic predisposition to cancer was much higher than normal.
Every organ can get cancer, and the same organ can get cancer in different tissues. For example, if the same lung tissue has cancer in the left lung, it is possible to have cancer in the right lung, so in some people, several primary lung cancers can be found in one lung. I've seen a patient with 10 ground-glass nodules in the lung tissue, and five of those ground-glass nodules were adenocarcinoma in situ. Another common site is the liver, especially in patients with cirrhosis of hepatitis B. Regenerative nodules can easily develop all over the liver, and all of these nodules are easily malignant, and when one is malignant, others can develop malignancy at the same time, so there are multiple places in the liver where liver cancer has developed in the liver tissue.
In general, it is possible for a person to have more than one cancer, and it is also possible for more than one tissue of the same organ to become cancerous. Most people with cancer get one type of cancer, and one type of cancer is enough for a person. There is also a small percentage of people who get two cancers. Even fewer get three or four cancers.
I'm Dr. Little Shadow, so follow me if you want to learn more about medicine.
Anything is possible.
Don't care how many kinds of cancer it is, as long as you grasp the focus you can solve all the problems. Should any disease be inseparable from qi and blood, unclear thinking will be wrong direction. The more skillful the medicine, the simpler it is, and the simpler it is, the more effective it is.
Mostly metastatic
In the face of science, Western medicine fan Chinese medicine black can absolutely get four kinds of cancer, their science can do nothing. For example, Western medicine fan Chinese medicine black can get the following four types of cancer:
Brain-damaged cancer, retarded cancer, superstitious cancer, and deadbeat cancer.
These are the incurable diseases of Western medicine powder Chinese medicine black in the face of profit, the only primer is money!
Western medicine powder Chinese medicine black think their mom can still get four breasts, two in front and two in the back, quite spectacular, and the milk they eat will be very sufficient. If their moms don't have four breasts, then it's just not progressive, it's no different from primitive people, and in that case it's just not scientific. That's why the mothers of the Western Medicine Powder Chinese Medicine Black are generally speaking possessing four breasts.
A man suffered from four types of cancer at the same time, looked into the causes and found that the root cause of the disease is in the body, it is difficult to avoid completely
The most cancerous patients should be referred to here as primary cancers, which means that a person develops two or more primary malignant tumors, either sequentially or concurrently, during his or her lifetime. Each of these tumors has a separate pathological type and cellular characteristics that are completely different from those of metastatic carcinomas. Metastatic multiple cancers have the same cell type although there are many sites, for example, in advanced lung cancer, liver metastasis, adrenal gland metastasis, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, although there are many sites in the whole body, these metastatic cancers have the same pathologic type as that of the primary site of the lung.
The concept of multiple primary cancers was firstly reported and proposed by Bierroth in 1889, and in 1932, some scientists proposed the diagnostic criteria of multiple primary cancers: (1) each tumor was diagnosed as malignant pathologically; (2) each tumor had unique pathological morphology and characteristics; (3) metastasis or recurrent tumors must be excluded. According to the difference in the diagnosis time of each primary tumor, those diagnosed at the same time or with an interval of ≤6 months are called simultaneous multiple primary cancers, and those with a diagnosis interval of >6 months are called heterochronous multiple primary cancers. The incidence rate in China is 0.3%~7.3%, and there is a rising trend in recent years.
In the clinic, the most cancerous patient I have seen is quadruple cancer, that is, four completely different cancers have appeared successively. This patient underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer 15 years ago, and 5 years ago, he was found to have right hemi-colon cancer, which was also staged at an early stage and was surgically resected. 3 years ago, he was found to have lesions in his liver, which was initially considered to be liver metastasis of intestinal cancer, and he was prepared to undergo chemotherapy, and the pathology of the liver puncture biopsy was suggestive of primary hepatocellular carcinoma prior to chemotherapy, and then he underwent radical surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma. This time, two months ago, during a comprehensive review, a chest CT revealed lung nodules, and the patient came to our hospital. Since the patient had multiple primary cancers in the past, a lung puncture biopsy was performed to clarify the situation, and the result was indeed primary adenocarcinoma of the lung. Multiple primary cancers are most common in two-stage cancers, and the incidence of three-stage and four-stage cancers and above is lower. Like the above patient, the occurrence of quadruple carcinoma is extremely rare clinically. Fortunately, this patient was found relatively early and had a good prognosis after surgical treatment.
Why do so many cancers occur? The reason for this is multifaceted, and the most important is the problem of genes. It has been reported that patients with multiple primary cancers who have a family history of tumors account for 14% to 50%, which is significantly higher than that of patients with single tumors. Tumor susceptibility gene copy number alterations or mutations are usually associated with multiple types of cancer. For example, mutations in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS1, and PMS2 can not only lead to colorectal and gastric cancers, but also increase the incidence of gynecological and urological tumors. In addition, PTEN, TP53, MEN1 and BAP1 are also susceptibility genes for multiple primary cancers.
In addition to the susceptibility gene itself, external factors are also the triggers of multiple primary cancers, such as smoking is associated with respiratory, digestive and urinary tumors, and long-term high-salt and high-fat diets will make the risk of esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancers increase. Also, low immune function makes the chance of cancer increase. Some autoimmune disease patients use glucocorticoid or immunosuppressant for a long period of time, which leads to a rise in the incidence of multiple primary cancers. Various anti-tumor treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy also accelerate the process of genetic alteration, making the probability of subsequent occurrence of other cancers increase.
The treatment principle of multiple primary cancers is completely different from that of metastatic cancers, and surgery is the preferred treatment for multiple primary cancers. For patients who have the opportunity to have surgery, every tumor should be removed as far as possible, and staged surgery should be performed when necessary.
In this case, the treatment can be combined with seaweed selenium, seaweed plant selenium has a very good effect on reducing the carcinogenicity of carcinogenic substances, inhibit the reproduction of cancer cells, but also can be scavenging the human body metabolism of the production of free radicals, peroxides, and can enhance the human body's immune system.
It is possible. Suffering from cancer is an unfortunate thing in itself, and it is already a great blow to a person, but some people suffer from cancer more than once. If a person is unfortunate enough to suffer from a certain kind of cancer, but at the same time or soon after, he develops another kind of cancer or even several kinds of cancers of different natures, this is called "repeated cancer" or "multiple primary malignant tumors" in medicine.
