Abstract
The findings of two well conducted trials that randomised 1803 patients with a peripheral non-small cell lung cancer measuring ≤ 2 cm to a lobar to sub-lobar resection have established the latter as a new standard of care. It is important for non-surgical oncologists to appreciate the details of study design and outcomes of both studies, given the possible impact they have for considerations of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for operable patients with early-stage NSCLC. Differences in overall survival between the study populations highlight the impact of confounding factors like smoking history and comorbidities on reported outcomes. For example, despite low post-operative mortality rates in both trials, the 5-year disease-free survival rate in the CALGB 140503 trial was only approximately 60 % with either surgical procedure. Both phase III trials required guideline recommended nodal staging, which does not reflect real world surgical practice, and which may limit the generalisability of the reported findings to local institutional outcomes. Furthermore, the emergence of other malignancies was recorded in 15-18 % of study patients during follow-up, and patients who underwent sub-lobar resections had a better long-term survival associated with a higher likelihood of undergoing additional curative treatments. These findings from the JCOG0802 and the CALGB 140503 will encourage more interest in enrolling patients into ongoing trials comparing surgical resection with SABR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Thymic carcinoma and thymic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are rare and are more likely to develop second malignancies. The purpose of this study was to explore the incidence and lifetime risk of second malignancies in thymic carcinoma and thymic NET. METHODS The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the age-adjusted cancer incidence of the thymic carcinoma and thymic NET patients with second malignancies were retrospectively calculated by using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Prognosis results were also determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. RESULTS 1130 patients with thymic carcinoma (73 patients had second malignancies) and 263 patients with thymic NET (19 patients had second malignancies) from 2000 to 2018 are included. Patients with thymic carcinoma (SIR: 1.36, 95% CI 1.08-1.69) and with thymic NET (SIR: 1.73, 95% CI 1.13-2.54) demonstrate an increased overall risk of developing second malignancies in various organ systems. The age-adjusted cancer incidence of second malignancies in patients with thymic carcinoma is 3058.48 per 100,000 persons (4178.46 per 100,000 persons in patients with thymic NET). Age at diagnosis is a significant risk factor for the development of second malignancies. CONCLUSION The incidence of second malignancies in patients with thymic carcinoma and thymic NET is significantly higher than the patients in the normal population. The occurrence of second malignancies is not related to the use of different treatments. It is important to extend the follow-up period and add other screening methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are still at a high risk of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs) after definitive therapies. We evaluated the development of SPMs and explored its risk factors in patients with clinical T1bN0 ESCC. METHODS JCOG0502 prospectively compared esophagectomy with definitive chemo-radiotherapy for clinical T1bN0 ESCC. Here, we reviewed all JCOG0502 patients' data for SPMs and investigated the risk factors for SPMs using uni-variable and multivariable analyses by Fine and Gray model. RESULTS Among 379 enrolled patients, 213 underwent esophagectomy and 166 received chemo-radiotherapy. Patient characteristics were male (85%); median age [63 (range 41-75) years; location of the primary tumor (upper/middle/lower thoracic esophagus, 11%/63%/27%, respectively]; alcohol consumption history (79%); smoking history (66%); prevalence of no/several/many/unknown Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) (45%/36%/8%/11%, respectively). In a median follow-up of 7.1 years, 118 SPMs occurred in 99 (26%) patients. Cumulative incidences of SPMs after 3, 5, and 10 years were 9%, 15%, and 36%, respectively. The most common primary tumor sites were the head and neck (35%), stomach (20%) and lungs (14%). In multivariable analyses, compared to no LVLs, several LVLs [hazard ratio (HR) 2.24, 95% confidential interval (CI) 1.32-3.81] and many LVLs (HR 2.88, 95% CI 1.27-6.52) were significantly associated with the development of SPMs. Sixteen patients died due to the SPMs. CONCLUSION The incidence of SPMs was high. The presence of LVLs, which was a predictive factor for SPMs, may be useful for surveillance planning.

Abstract
The coexistence of dual hematological neoplasms is an unusual and challenging presentation due to the different combination of etiopathology. The presentation of synchronous dual hematological malignancies can be one of the 3 types: myeloid + lymphoid or dual lymphoid or dual myeloid. Here, we are reporting a case of a 53-year-old male with simultaneous presence of JAK2 V617F-positive myeloproliferative neoplasm with features favoring prefibrotic phase of primary myelofibrosis (pre-PMF) in combination with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In such cases of simultaneous existence of dual hematological neoplasm management, it is recommended to treat the more aggressive one. Currently, our management plan is focusing on treating the pre-PMF and observation of MGUS with regular monitoring for transformation to MM.

Abstract
Purpose The eye and its adnexal structures can give rise to first or consecutive primary malignancies or to encounter metastasis. Our aim was to define the characteristics of the second primary neoplasms affecting the eye and its adnexa and find the risk modifying factors for them after malignancies elsewhere in the body. Methods We have queried the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Results “SEER”-9 program of the National Cancer Institute for the malignancies of the eye and its adnexa that occurred between 1973 and 2015. The malignancies were ordered chronologically according to their incidence: first or second primary malignancies. The tumors were classified according to ICD-O-3 classification. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and survival probabilities were calculated for subgroups. Results Among 3,578,950 cancer patients, 1203 experienced a second malignancies of the eye and its adnexa. The first malignancy was diagnosed between 50 and 69 years of age in 58.94% of them. The eyelid showed 280 events, while 50 in lacrimal gland, 181 in the orbit, 21 in the overlapping lesions, 15 in optic nerve, 148 in the conjunctiva, 9 in the cornea, 6 in the Retina, 379 in the choroid, and 93 in the ciliary body. The SIR of a second malignancy after a prior non-Hodgkin lymphoma was 2.42, and in case of previous skin carcinomas it was 3.02, melanoma of skin, and 2.13 and 1.58 in oral cavity/pharynx malignancies. The second ocular and adnexal neoplasms increased steadily over the 5-year periods on contrary to first primary neoplasms. The survival of patients affected with first ocular and adnexal neoplasms was significantly higher than those with second ocular and adnexal neoplasms. On the other side, second primary ocular and adnexal tumors showed a better survival than second primary malignancies elsewhere. Conclusions The epidemiological differences between first and second ocular and adnexal primaries suggest different underlying mechanisms. Careful ocular examination should be integrated in the long-term follow-up plan of cancer patients. Special attention should be given to patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and melanoma as first primary.![]() Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1007/s00417-020-04896-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) is low in the general population, although individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) are particularly susceptible. These tumors generally have a high probability of metastasis. The rate and types of second malignancies (SMNs) after a primary diagnosis of MPNST are not well characterized. We aimed to quantify the rate of SMNs among individuals with a first primary MPNST using population-based data. METHODS We estimated age-standardized incidence rates (SIRs) for SMNs among 1,579 primary MPNST cases between ages 0-85+ using SEER 18 (2000-2015). We estimated incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for SMNs in MPNST cases compared with general population rates. We conducted sex-stratified and age-restricted analyses (< 30 years at diagnosis). RESULTS Seven percent (108/1579) of MPNST cases developed a SMN (SIR of 4635 cases/million). Compared to the general population, MPNST cases were more likely to develop SMNs (IRR: 29.3; 95% CI 23.8-34.8) and had a much higher rate of second MPNSTs (IRR: 15,992.9; 95% CI 9594.5-22,391.3). Aside from a second MPNST, second cancers were frequently diagnosed in the breast, lung, skin, and soft tissue in females and were myeloid and skin malignancies in males. When restricted to < 30 years of age, second MPNSTs were the most common cancers diagnosed. CONCLUSIONS The rate of SMNs among MPNST cases is tremendously higher than that observed among individuals with other cancers, particularly for second MPNSTs. These findings suggest rates of SMNs may also be higher in NF1 individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation exposure has long been established as a risk factor for cancer development. The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of uterine malignancy in patients previously treated for cervical cancer with radiation therapy. METHODS A population-based cohort of 9092 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer who did not undergo surgery and received radiation therapy between 1973 and 2008 was identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program database (SEER 9). Patients in this cohort who developed endometrial cancer after treatment of cervical cancer were identified. 55,140 patients with endometrial cancer were also identified. The distribution of the different histologic types of endometrial cancer was determined for each of these cohorts. RESULTS 54 patients (0.6%) were diagnosed with an endometrial cancer more than 12 months after diagnosis of cervical cancer. The average latency to endometrial cancer diagnosis was 160 months, with a range of 14-374 months. The average age of cervical cancer diagnosis was 52 years and the average age at subsequent endometrial cancer diagnosis was 66 years. Only 40% of the endometrial cancers diagnosed following treatment of cervical cancer were endometrioid. The majority were clear-cell adenocarcinomas (42%), 9% were carcinosarcomas and 5.5% were leiomyosarcomas. Of the 55,140 endometrial cancer patients in the database, a vast majority were endometrioid adenocarcinomas (91%), and only 2.3% clear-cell adenocarcinoma, 2.3% carcinosarcoma and 0.5% leiomyosarcoma. The difference in histologic type distribution between these two cohorts is highly significant (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION A small proportion of women who receive radiation for cervical cancer go on to develop endometrial cancer. These are predominantly of the more aggressive histologic types when compared to primary endometrial cancers. The latency from cervical cancer diagnosis to endometrial cancer diagnosis is over a decade. In a patient who still has a uterus after receiving pelvic radiation, vaginal bleeding should be investigated.

Abstract
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have near-normal life expectancies. With this comes the possibility of developing second cancers; we aimed to evaluate the incidence of second malignancies in patients with CML using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data. We identified 13,276 patients with CML newly diagnosed in 2001-2014. Patients who had prior history of cancer, a concurrent diagnosis of other malignancies in the same diagnostic year, or a second leukemia after CML diagnosis were excluded. Second malignancies were observed in 597 patients (4%) with a median follow-up of 69 months. The 5- and 10-year cumulative incidences of death for all patients were 30.5% and 41.8%. The 5- and 10-year cumulative incidences of second malignancies were 4.4% and 7.2%, respectively. The overall standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was 1.204. Increased SIRs compared to the general population were observed for the male genital system, 1.593; digestive system, 1.291; skin, 1.588; and urinary system, 1.366. Overall excess absolute risk was 1.714 per 1000 person-years at risk. Our results suggest that relative incidence of overall second malignancies in CML is slightly higher than that of the general population, with minimal increase in the excess absolute risk.

Abstract
Radiation-induced second malignancies (RISM) is one of the important late side effects of radiation therapy and has an impact on optimal treatment decision-making. Many factors contribute to the development of RISM such as age at radiation, dose and volume of irradiated area, type of irradiated organ and tissue, radiation technique and individual and family history of cancer. Exact mechanism of RISM is unknown. But nowadays, it is a growing concern in oncology because of the increased number of cancer survivors and efforts are being made to prevent or decrease the incidence of RISM. The primary search for articles was carried via Google Scholar and PubMed with keywords included 'radiation induced malignancies, second malignancies, and chemotherapy induced malignancies'. Additional papers were found through references from relevant articles. In this review article, we have discussed about the pathogenesis, factors contributing to RISM, screening and prevention strategies of RISM.

Abstract
We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the incidence of second malignancies (SMs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We analyzed data from 339 patients with CML who were extracted from the CML Cooperative Study Group database. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was calculated to assess the risk of SMs using data from the Cancer Registries in Japan. The median follow-up was 65 months. SMs developed in 14 patients (4.1%, 10 men, 4 women) after the start of TKIs. The median age was 69 years at the time of the CML diagnosis and 72.5 years at the time of the SM diagnosis. Ten patients were treated with imatinib, three with dasatinib, and one with nilotinib as the initial treatment. The SIR for all malignancies was 1.05 (95% CI 0.50-1.93) for men and 1.08 (95% CI 0.29-2.76) for women. The difference in the overall survival (OS) of patients with or without SMs was not statistically significant (5-year OS: 82.5% vs. 92.9%; p = 0.343). A subgroup analysis of 166 patients treated with second-generation TKIs (92 dasatinib, 74 nilotinib) showed that the SIRs for all malignancies were 1.33 (95% CI 0.36-3.41) for men and 0 for women. In conclusion, the incidence of SMs in CML patients during TKI treatment was the same as that in the general Japanese population. There was no evidence of an increase in the incidence of SMs during second-generation TKI treatment. Furthermore, the occurrence of SMs during TKI treatment did not affect the survival or mortality in our cohort.

Abstract
Annual cervical cancer screening with Papanicolaou (Pap) and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing after stem cell transplant (SCT) is recommended, but the uptake is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of cervical cancer screening in patients with hematologic malignancies. We searched MarketScan Commercial Claims database for women who underwent allogeneic or autologous SCT. The primary outcome was cervical cancer screening, defined as procedures or abnormal results for HPV and/or Pap testing according administrative codes within 2 years after SCT. A multivariable logistic regression model was fitted with cancer type, SCT year, age, geographic area, insurance plan, comorbidity, and presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).The study included 1484 patients; 1048 patients (70.6%) had autologous and 436 (29.4%) allogeneic SCT. Mean age was 52.5 years. Overall, 660 patients (44.5%) had screening within 2 years after SCT, 214 (49.1%) with allogeneic SCT and 446 (42.6%) with autologous SCT (P = .02). In the allogeneic SCT group, patients with GVHD had a lower rate of screening than patients without GVHD (42.5% versus 55.4%, P < .01), and GVHD was associated with lower odds of screening (odds ratio, .50; 95% confidence interval, .32 to .79). In the autologous SCT group, patients with comorbid medical conditions had a lower rate of screening than patients without comorbidity (36.0% versus 45.7%, P < .01). In both allogeneic and autologous SCT groups older patients had lower odds of screening. Cervical cancer screening rates after SCT are low, particularly in patients with GVHD, who are at significant risk of second malignancies. Future work is needed to develop strategies to increase uptake.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Second malignancies are a rare but well-defined late complication after autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Solid malignancies occur in up to 15% of patients 15 years after SCT with myeloablative conditioning, with no plateau in the incidence rates. They are responsible for 5-10% of late deaths after SCT. The incidence is increased with advanced age at SCT. The major risk factors are the use of total body irradiation, which is associated with adenocarcinomas and with chronic graft-versus-host disease which is associated with squamous cell cancers. There is less data on the incidence of second malignancies after reduced-intensity conditioning, but it may not be lower. The types of solid tumors reported in excess include melanoma and other skin cancers; cancers of the oral cavity and head and neck, brain, liver, uterine cervix, thyroid, breast, lung; and possibly gastrointestinal cancers. Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are more common after autologous SCT and may be related mostly to pre-transplant therapies. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease is donor-cell-derived lymphoma that is more common after allogeneic SCT with T-cell depletion or intensive immune-suppression state. Second malignancies are most often treated similarly to the standard therapy for similar malignancies. Lifelong cancer screening and prevention interventions are required for all transplantation survivors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyse the rate of secondary malignancies observed in a series of 675 prostate cancer patients who underwent a permanent implant brachytherapy between 1999 and 2003, and to compare the incidence with the expected rate in a matched general French population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cohort included low-risk patients and a selection of "favourable-intermediate" risk patients. All patients were homogeneously treated using an intraoperative dynamic planning prostate brachytherapy technique, with loose 125-iodine seeds and a prescription dose of 145Gy. The mean follow-up was 132 months. RESULTS The 10-year overall survival for the entire cohort was 92% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90-94). The 10-year relapse-free survival rate was 82% (95% CI: 79-85). Overall, 61 second cancers were registered. When comparing with a matched general French population, the standard incidence ratio (SIR) for bladder cancer was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.46-1.93). For colorectal cancer, the SIR was 0.45 (95% CI: 0.19-0.89). For lung cancer, the SIR was 0.38 (95% CI: 0.17-0.76). The SIR for all cancers was 0.61 (95% CI: 0.47-0.79). When excluding secondary colorectal and lung cancers (both with low SIRs in this series), the SIR for all cancers was 1.06 (95% CI: 0.77-1.29). CONCLUSION With a mean follow-up of more than 11 years, this series does not detect any excess risk of second cancers associated with permanent implant prostate brachytherapy. However, due to power limitation, a small increase in the risk of secondary malignancies cannot be totally ruled out.

Abstract
The impact of age at diagnosis on outcomes of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) undergoing autologous hematopoietic transplantation (auto-HCT) is unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the impact of age on outcomes of 310 consecutive patients with relapsed/refractory HL who underwent auto-HCT between January 1996 and December 2010 with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan conditioning therapy. Patients were stratified into ≤ 55 and >55-year-age groups based on age at diagnosis. At a median follow-up of 80 (range, 1 to 180) months, progression-free survival was similar between both age groups. However, age older than 55 years at diagnosis was associated with significantly poor overall survival with a hazard ratio [HR] of 2.3 (P = .003) from higher rate of second malignancies (HR, 3.8; P = .015) compared with patients 55 years or younger. In conclusion age > 55 years at diagnosis increases risk of second malignancies after auto-HCT.

Abstract
Subsequent neoplasms (SN) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) cause significant patient morbidity and mortality. Risks for specific SN types vary substantially, with particularly elevated risks for post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia, and squamous cell malignancies. This document provides an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding SN after HCT and recommends priorities and approaches to overcome challenges and gaps in understanding. Numerous factors have been suggested to affect risk, including patient-related (eg, age), primary disease-related (eg, disease type, pre-HCT therapies), and HCT-related characteristics (eg, type and intensity of conditioning regimen, stem cell source, development of graft-versus-host disease). However, gaps in understanding remain for each of these risk factors, particularly for patients receiving HCT in the current era because of substantial advances in clinical transplantation practices. Additionally, the influence of nontransplantation-related risk factors (eg, germline genetic susceptibility, oncogenic viruses, lifestyle factors) is poorly understood. Clarification of the magnitude of SN risks and identification of etiologic factors will require large-scale, long-term, systematic follow-up of HCT survivors with detailed clinical data. Most investigations of the mechanisms of SN pathogenesis after HCT have focused on immune drivers. Expansion of our understanding in this area will require interdisciplinary laboratory collaborations utilizing measures of immune function and availability of archival tissue from SN diagnoses. Consensus-based recommendations for optimal preventive, screening, and therapeutic approaches have been developed for certain SN after HCT, whereas for other SN, general population guidelines are recommended. Further evidence is needed to specifically tailor preventive, screening, and therapeutic guidelines for SN after HCT, particularly for unique patient populations. Accomplishment of this broad research agenda will require increased investment in systematic data collection with engagement from patients, clinicians, and interdisciplinary scientists to reduce the burden of SN in the rapidly growing population of HCT survivors.

Abstract
In the era of modern radiation therapy, the compromise between the reductions in deterministic radiation-induced toxicities through highly conformal devices may be impacting the stochastic risk of second malignancies. We reviewed the clinical literature and evolving theoretical models evaluating the impact of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) on the risk of second cancers, as a consequence of the increase in volumes of normal tissues receiving low doses. The risk increase (if any) is not as high as theoretical models have predicted in adults. Moreover, the increase in out-of-field radiation doses with IMRT could be counterbalanced by the decrease in volumes receiving high doses. Clinical studies with short follow-up have not corroborated the hypothesis that IMRT would drastically increase the incidence of second cancers. In children, the risk of radiation-induced carcinogenesis increases from low doses and consequently the relative risk of second cancers after IMRT could be higher than in adults, justifying current developments of proton therapy with priority given to this population. Although only longer follow-up will allow a true assessment of the real impact of these modern techniques on radiation-induced carcinogenesis, a comprehensive risk-adapted strategy will help minimize the probability of second cancers.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate second cancer risk (SCR) comparing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) with different high dose fractionation schemes. Methods VMAT and 3DCRT virtual treatment plans for 25 patients previously treated with radiotherapy for rectal cancer were evaluated retrospectively. Doses prescribed were 25 × 1.8 Gy and 5 × 5 Gy, respectively. SCR was estimated using a carcinogenesis model and epidemiological data for carcinoma and sarcoma induction. SCR was determined by lifetime attributable risk (LAR). Results Mean excess LAR was highest for organs adjacent to the PTV. Total LAR for VMAT and 3DCRT was 2.3–3.0 and 2.0–2.7 %, respectively. For 5 × 5 Gy, LAR was 1.4–1.9 % for VMAT and 1.2–1.6 % for 3DCRT. Organ-specific excess LAR was significantly higher for VMAT, and highest for bladder and colon. Size and shape of the PTV influenced SCR and was highest for age ≤ 40 years. For a patient with an additional lifetime risk of 60 years, LAR was 10 % for 25 × 1.8 Gy and 6 % for 5 × 5 Gy. Conclusions No statistically significant difference was detected in SCR using VMAT or 3DCRT. For bladder and colon, organ-specific excess LAR was statistically lower using 3DCRT, however the difference was small. Compared to epidemiological data, SCR was smaller when using a hypofractionated schedule. SCR was 2 % higher at normal life expectancy. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02572362. Registered 4 October 2015. Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
Study Design Retrospective observational study. Purpose To identify the role of percutaneous vertebral biopsy in histopathological diagnosis of vertebral compression fractures and to identify the frequency of unexpected malignancy in vertebral compression fractures. Overview of Literature Vertebral compression fractures are common in the Indian population. Magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear imaging have some limitations in the diagnosis of definitive pathology of vertebral compression fractures. Therefore, histological confirmation is necessary for definitive diagnosis and to plan appropriate management for patient. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted involving 84 patients who underwent percutaneous vertebral biopsy between 2010 and 2014. We performed C-arm guided percutaneous transpedicular core vertebral biopsy of vertebral compression fractures under combination of local anesthesia and intravenous conscious sedation. Results Sufficient biopsy material was obtained in 79 of the 84 cases. In the other five cases, biopsy material was not sufficient for reporting. Out of the 79 cases, osteoporotic pathology was detected in 69 patients, malignancy was detected in 8 patients and no pathology was found in 2 patients. Two patients with distant metastases to vertebra were identified. Primary spinal malignancy was detected in 6 patients (1 unsuspected plasmacytoma, 5 diagnosed malignancy preoperatively). So, the frequency of unsuspected malignancy of this study was 1.19% (1/84). None of the patients had any complications. Conclusions C-arm guided percutaneous transpedicular vertebral biopsy is useful in obtaining definitive histopathological diagnosis of vertebral compression fractures, especially in differentiating malignant and non-malignant vertebral compression fractures and helping plan appropriate management of patients. The rate of unexpected malignancy in vertebral compression fracture was 1.19%.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs may coexist with different types of cancer, either synchronous or metachronous. The frequency of this association and the spectrum of neoplasms involved have not been sufficiently analyzed; most of publications describe a single case report and rare case series. In the absence of definitive data, it could be interesting to compare the frequency of the occurrence of GIST and second malignancies in literature. METHODS A review of all case series that reported the frequency of the occurrence of GIST and synchronous second malignancies were considered. RESULTS Six retrospective case series were considered, including 440 GIST patients; of these, there were 64 (14.5 %) patients with other synchronous second malignancies. Median age was 67 years, median GIST size was 3.91 cm (range 3.0-4.79 cm), and all cases (100.0 %) were CD117 and CD34 positive. According to the risk categories, 35.2 % of patients had a very low risk, 24.0 % a low risk, 27.6 % an intermediate risk, and 13.2 % a high risk. CONCLUSIONS Regarding the occurrence of GISTs and synchronous second malignancies, we can consider it as more common than it has been considered. Differently, concerning the topic of the incidence of second primary malignancies (SPMs) and metachronous second malignancies in pre-imatinib and after-imatinib era, we can consider it as a clinically relevant topic; according to the present knowledge, the main cause for the increased incidence of SPMs in the imatinib era is explained by the increased survival of patients with metastatic GISTs and therefore more time available to develop SPMs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the incidence of second primary cancer (SPC) after 125I brachytherapy (BT) for early prostate cancer in an Australian institution. METHODS AND MATERIALS All the patients in our cohort had a cystoscopy before the implant. Data were prospectively collected on all subsequent SPC diagnoses. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to compare data with the Australian population. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the actuarial second malignancy and pelvic malignancy rates and the death from SPC and from any cause. RESULTS A total of 889 patients were followed up for a median of 4.16 (0-13) years with 370 (42%) patients having ≥5 years of followup. Sixty patients subsequently developed an SPC of which 11 were pelvic malignancies. The 5- and 10-year cumulative incidences were 1.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6-3) and 3.3% (95% CI: 1-7) for any pelvic malignancy and 1% (95% CI: 0.4-2) and 2.6% (1-6) for bladder cancer, respectively. The SIR was significantly higher than expected for all bladder cancers at 2.9 (95% CI: 1-6) and close to significance (SIR, 3.0; 95% CI: 0.97-7) for bladder cancers within the first 5 years of followup in the subgroup analysis. On multivariate analysis, older age was associated with increased SPC risk and older age and positive smoking status were associated with increased overall mortality, mortality due to SPC, and mortality from second malignancy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There may be a small increased risk of bladder SPC after prostate BT. A tendency toward a higher risk of bladder SPC after BT was found within the first 5 years of followup probably reflecting screening bias.

Abstract
Combination chemoradiotherapy achieves excellent results for the treatment of localized Hodgkin lymphoma. However, late toxic effects occur, mostly related to the radiotherapy administered after the standard adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy. The most serious sequelae are radiation-induced secondary cancers. Reducing radiotherapy has not yet prevented late malignancies. However, when radiotherapy was omitted, tumor control was inferior, with more relapses necessitating rescue treatment including high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell support. Early fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography performed after a few cycles of ABVD is evaluated in several randomized trials to identify patients who might be safely treated with chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
Over the past decades, early diagnosis, new drugs and more personalised multi-modality treatment have led to impressive increases in survival rates of patients with cancer. This success in treating cancer has resulted in a large and rapidly increasing number of cancer survivors, yet life after cancer is often compromised by a broad spectrum of late adverse treatment effects. Some encounter cardiovascular, second malignancies, cognitive or other morbidities which impair normal life in an important way. Some patients are confronted with societal discrimination due to slower performance, chronic fatigue or partial inability and these things can adversely affect employment, education, insurance or mortgage opportunities. In 2012, the European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Survivorship Task Force was created to focus research efforts on late morbidity of cancer treatment and its impact on society. On 30–31st January 2014, the 1st EORTC Cancer Survivorship Summit was organised to facilitate interaction between clinicians, researchers, social workers, patients, insurers, bankers and policy makers. This important event addressed the needs of cancer survivors, and new collaborations between academic groups, patient advocates, financial and political representatives were formed to guide future European research and health policies in this field. This special issue of the European Journal of Cancer is entirely dedicated to this Summit and addresses, respectively, second malignancies, cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, infertility/sexuality and psycho-social problems following cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this work was to retrospectively analyze patients with Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms through evaluation of frequency and characteristics of second malignancies (other than acute leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome). PATIENTS AND METHODS Records of 172 patients were reviewed; an analysis was performed on data from 66 patients treated with hydroxyurea, 105 patients treated with other cytoreductive therapy, and 25 patients without treatment. RESULTS A higher occurrence of second malignancies was found in the group treated with hydroxyurea (7.6%; other cytoreduction: 1.2%; without therapy: 0). After a median follow-up of 89 months in the hydroxyurea group, 13 patients developed second cancer during hydroxyurea therapy, located on the skin (68.75%) and other sites (31.25%). CONCLUSION The incidence of second malignancies during hydroxyurea therapy in our cohort patient was significantly higher than the incidence of malignancies in the Czech population of corresponding age.
