摘要篇首： IntroductionCarcinomas of the stomach are the most common malignant tumors in China. Due to the recent developments in diagnostic techniques and instrumentation, the early detection of gastric carcinoma (GC) has increased. Yet synchronous multiple primary gastric carcinomas, de-fined as 2 or more primary gastric carcinomas occurring in 1 patient simultaneously, are not frequently seen. The etiology of synchronous tumors is still unclear, and their coexistence can be problematic for surgeons, oncologists and pathologists in regards to diagnosis, treat-ment, and follow-up. Research has focused mainly on such issues as the frequency of occurrence of primary multiple carcinomas, identi-fication of high-risk groups, early diagnosis, treatment methods, and prognostic factors. The purpose of this article is to present a rare case of synchronous tumors and to review the literature addressing the sur-gical treatment for patients with multiple cancers.
