A Rare Case: Synchronous Gastric and Colon Cancer

Abstract

The development of synchronous gastric and colon cancers is particularly rare. When the increasing worldwide average life expectancy is taken into consideration, the increase in rate of synchronous and metachronous cancers is an expected situation. It is considered that a preoperative detailed investigation is required in patients with primary tumor in terms of synchronous and metachronous cancers. In this case report, we aimed to present the diagnostic and therapeutic methods in a patient with synchronous gastric and colon cancers.
