Incidence and Survival of Multiple Primary Cancers in US Women With a Gynecologic Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate risk of a second cancer and associated survival times in United States women with diagnosis of cancer.

Methods

The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was queried for 2 cohorts of women aged 18 - 89 with either an index gynecologic or non-gynecologic cancer diagnosed between 1992 - 2017. Index cases were followed to determine if a second primary cancer was subsequently diagnosed; defined according to SEER multiple primary and histology coding rules. Standard Incident Ratios (SIR) and latency intervals between index diagnosis and second primary diagnosis were evaluated. Among those who developed a second primary cancer, median survival times from diagnosis of second primary cancer were also calculated.

Results

Between 1992 -
