Second primary gastric cancers in a region with an overall high risk of gastric cancer.

CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of gastric second primary cancers among cancer survivors was higher than in the general population only soon after the first primary cancer, and lower thereafter. Despite the high mortality, the probability of a gastric second primary cancer within 10-years of the first primary cancer was 0.6%. PMID: 30527910 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
