5 Foreword In 2006, when my colleague Andrea Renda proposed multiple primary malignancies (MPM) as the subject of the Biennial Report to the 2008 Congress of the Italian Society of Surgery, I, together with the Steering Committee, quickly agreed. Recent progress in our understanding of the etiopathology of these neoplasms has led to innovative and significant progress on the clinical level. Importantly, the incidence of the onset of two or more tumors in the same patient suggests a more than casual relationship. Furthermore, the occurrence of MPM derives from several different mechanisms viral, iatrogenic, immunologic, environmental, and hereditary such that any form of treatment must take into account the etiology of these tumors. After an epidemiological introduction, this monograph analyzes various aspects of multitumoral syndromes based on the experience of the Department of Surgical Sciences, along with that of other clinical departments of the University Federico II of Naples. In the discussion of inherited tumors, reference is made to the series of patients treated at the Department of Surgery at the University of Siena. The many topics that comprise this volume range from carcinogenesis to diagnostic strategies, and from epidemiology to innovations in imaging and endoscopic techniques. Among the clinical aspects, particular emphasis is given to sporadic and hereditary syndromes, as these patients are frequently treated by general surgery departments. The correlation between molecular tests and clinical behaviors of MPM is highly relevant, since the diagnostic, therapeutic, and surveillance strategies for more than a few of these syndromes are strongly influenced by the underlying genetics. Despite its wealth of information, this work does not claim to be conclusive. The interesting clinical trials proposed by the authors will no doubt bring further insights and new perspectives regarding the pathogenesis and clinical approach to MPM. I am proud that Italian surgery has been able to provide a relevant contribution to this extremely interesting field, one that will benefit not only surgeons, but also many different research and clinical specialists. Rome, October 2008 Roberto Tersigni President, Italian Society of Surgery
6 Preface Many surgeons are confronted with cancer patients who have already been treated for another malignant neoplasm or who have a lesion formerly considered to be a metastasis but subsequently recognized as a new primary tumor. In other cases, individuals who have been cured of one cancer (i.e., of the digestive tract or breast) may later present with leukemia or lymphoma. In every surgeon s series there are also patients with inherited disease in which there are multiple tumors. In our experience, in studies of familial adenomatous polyposis and colorectal cancer, we have seen many patients with multiple primary tumors. These observations lead to several questions: What is the real incidence of multiple primary malignancies? What are their most frequent causes? Is there a relationship or a dependence among them? How do we best approach their diagnosis and prevention? Is the optimal prophylactic therapy surgical or medical? In this volume, we have tried to answer these questions through in-depth discussions and literature reviews. To this end, I have been greatly assisted by the Board of Società Italiana di Chirurgia (SIC), which I sincerely thank, in its choice of this subject as the focus of a 2-year study. The aim here is not to produce an exhaustive monograph, but to point out topics under investigation. Experts in the field, mostly from the University Hospital Federico II in Naples but also from other institutes in Campania, as well as other guest authors have been invited to relate their own experience and thus to approach the problem from different points of view. I would therefore like to thank all those who took part in this study for their much-appreciated and crucial cooperation. The monograph is divided into three parts: the first mainly concerning the history and the nosography of multiple primary malignancies; the second based on the etiology and the more frequent tumoral associations seen in general surgery; and the third on the clinical concepts. I hope I have succeeded in my intention and apologize for any, inadvertent, omissions. Naples, October 2008 Andrea Renda
