Introduction
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy
affecting men beyond middle age.
Is the most common non cutaneous malignancy in the Western
world.
2nd leading cause of cancer death in men.
It is a major public health burden in Sub Sahara Africa.
In practice, prostate cancer has been reported to occur
simultaneously (synchronous) or successively (metachronous).
Introduction [Cont’d]
Some multiple cancer syndromes have been well defined. These
include Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome (cerebellar & retinal
heamangioma, renal, pancreatic and spinal meningeal tumors).
Aim
To report Multiple Primary Cancers (MPC) involving Prostate
cancer in our centre in the last two years.
To identify from the literature possible associations of
simultaneously occurring cancers.
Methodology
Retrospective analyses from our database of patients with MPC
involving prostate cancer in the last two years.
Review of existing literature for possible association.

Discussion [Cont’d]
Prostate cancer could occur with other primary tumours as
synchronous or metachronous.
This has been adduced to increased life span and improved
diagnostic tools.
There are existing literatures reporting prostate cancer
occurring with all the other primary tumors in our series.
Lee et al; reported 4.03% finding of prostate cancer in radical
cystoprostatectomy specimen (Asian J. Andrology, 2006).
Discussion [Cont’d]
The incidence of other primary tumours in the setting of
primary liver cell carcinoma is relatively common with a strong
clustering of genitourinary and gastro-intestinal malignancies.
Synchronous thyroid tumours have been reported following
radiation for head and neck tumours. In our report, it was
discovered after External beam radiation therapy to the pelvis.
Prostate cancer with Rectal cancer

Discussion [Cont’d]
Prostate cancer with Colonic tumours
- Genetics: (i) mutation of BRCA2 gene
(ii) mutation of MMR gene (Lynch syndrome)
Challenges
To make Diagnosis.
Diagnostic tools are limited: availability and affordability.
Between oncologic cure and preservation of functional
anatomy/quality of life.
No established guideline.
Poor cancer registry.
Low rate of postmortem and radical procedures.
Conclusion
MPC occurrence are probably more than the documented
cases.
Detailed clinical evaluation is key.
There is need for more multidisciplinary approach to care.
There is also need for genetics study.
