Abstract

Multiple primary cancer is relatively rare disease. But its study revealed a aspect of carcinogenesis and has changed our concept in second primary cancer. It is not a metastasis or recurrent cancer. Multiple primary cancer associated with gastric cancer is most common in Korea. Now we report two cases of multiple primary cancer in esophagus and stomach, successfully treated.
