Abstract

The longer a patient lives, the more predisposed he is to become host to primary malignant neoplasms at various sites. Hence the importance of follow-up clinics in long-term care facilities. Data on multiple malignancies at Oak Forest Hospital are presented. Among 34 such patients (average age, 72 years), 28 had malignant lesions at two primary sites, and 6 at three primary sites.
