Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence suggests an excess of long-term mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, second tumours and other causes in patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (BC). Our aim was to assess this risk of death in a cohort of patients diagnosed with BC in Girona and Tarragona, northeastern Spain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using data from the cancer registries in these areas, a population-based cohort study was carried out including all the women diagnosed with BC during 1985-2004 and followed up until December 31st 2014 (N = 10,195). The standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for causes other than BC in the cohort at 10 years (periods 1985-1994/1995-2004) and 20 years (period 1985-1994). The impact of competing causes of death in the long-term survival was evaluated through competing risk analysis. RESULTS The SMRs at 10 and 20 years for all-cause mortality, except BC, were 1.21 and 1.22. The main causes of mortality showing statistically significant SMR at 10 years were other tumours (colon, lung, corpus uteri, ovary, and haematological), diabetes mellitus, diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular diseases (after BC, the second competing cause of death among patients diagnosed > 69 years) and diseases of the kidney. Globally, the 10-year SMR was higher in the first period. After 20 years of follow-up (1985-1994 cohort), there were 48.5 excess deaths per 10,000 patient-years for causes other than BC. CONCLUSIONS Women who did not die from BC at 10 or 20 years after the BC diagnosis had 20% higher risk of dying from other causes than women without BC. This excess risk must be clinically considered during 20 years after the BC diagnosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the value of cytology in differentiation between malignant epithelial tumor metastases and hematologic malignancy. The follow-up of ten (10) patients who underwent diagnosis and treatment of two malignant diseases, i.e. carcinoma and hematologic malignancy, was performed in the 2000-2005 period. The median of age of our patients was 72 years (range: 49-79). Cytological examination included epithelial tumors, lymph nodes and bone marrow standard Pappenheim and immunocytochemically stained smears. Carcinoma was initially diagnosed in 40% (4/10) patients and hematologic malignancy in 50% (5/10) patients, while both diseases co-occurred in one patient (1/10). Most of hematologic malignancy cases (4/10) were diagnosed as lymphoma. Multiple myeloma was diagnosed in 3 out of 10 patients (30%). Individual cases of acute myeloblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia were diagnosed in the remaining three patients. Most carcinomas were breast cancer (8/10), while prostate and thyroid gland cancer were diagnosed each in one patient, respectively.
